Hi all,
I am pretty sure that I've read about functions for summing time
intervals so that as a result, we don't get the "largest possible"
interval (like in [1,2] + [3,4] = [4,6]), but something more along the
lines of "time estimate" (where assuming that everything will happen at
the fastest or slowest possible pace is unrealistic, since the
estimates are uncorrelated). Unfortunately, I can't remember where I
read that. I did a quick grep on Calc and Org manuals and didn't find
it - but maybe I'm missing something? Or maybe I was just dreaming and
Emacs does not have anything like that?
Best,

See "Estimate ranges in column view" on

Thanks, that's it! (I would never try to look for it /there/... The
only way to discover this is to read the /whole/ of the Org manual -
which I did, some time ago...)
