>>11050311you're ignoring MARGINAL GAINS, you dumbass.
The 968th lesson will improve his skills, but so will 967, 966, 965... all the way down to lesson 1. But each lesson will improve his skills by a different amount and will give him a different amount of utility.
To decide whether or not he should take another lesson, Ezekiel would weigh the marginal (i.e. incremental) utility gained from an additional class vs whatever else he could be doing.
>b-but there are no restrictions!No, we were not informed of any restrictions. Nowhere does it say that there are no restrictions. And that's why the answer is uncertain. Maybe all Ezekiel wants to do is play violin 24/7, maybe he doesn't. We are not Ezekiel, and we do not know.
Now, if it were stated that Ezekiel's subjective preferences are improving his violin skills above all else, then he should take as many violin lessons as needed to reach his skill ceiling.
