We consider numerous ways to share and consume a limited supply of beer. We can open a sequence of pages to explore a particular scenario, adjust parameters of that scenario and then document the scenario with hyperlinks to the chosen strategies.
Choices
Here we list the choices for the scenario we will analyze. The order and number of choices will influence the outcomes.
Chosen Beer Drinking Strategies
Drink Beer Similarly to the previous drinkers.
Drink Beer Slowly passing one around at a time.
Unused Strategies
Drink Beer in Proportion to the number available.
Analysis
We'll adjust two parameters, the initial number of beers and the preferred consumption rate with these defaults.
100 Bottles of Beer -10 Take a Few Down
We'll use the Reduce Plugin's slider to adjust the initial supply of beer. We then watch the supply dwindle as the scenario progresses.

Some drinking strategies look to others to pace consumption. We adjust that guidance and watch the choices made for each.

Notes
This example shows how the Reduce plugin supports exploring parameter sensitivity in multiple dimensions. See About Reduce Plugin.
This plugin cooperates with Method plugins on scenario pages. The context we create for each is similar to but not the same as that created by simpley browsing pages. See About Method Plugin.
This plugin has some similarity to the Rollup plugin which also also retrieves and evaluates off-screen pages. Rollup is happy to aggregate independent calculations from many pages while Reduce is more about repeating calculations on a few pages while varying parameters. See About Rollup Plugin.
