[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00025.] Pólya asked the following simple question [Am. Math. Mon. 57, 26-28 (1950; Zbl 0035.035)]; given two positive numbers \(a<b\) and \(x\) some number \(a\leq x\leq b\), how should we guess \(y\) as the value of \(x\) so as to minimize the error, or to mimimize the relative error? This idea has been investigated in detail by other authors; see for instance \textit{E. T. Metcalf} [J. Approximation Theory 17, 57-65 (1976; Zbl 0328.41022)] and \textit{E. F. Beckenbach} [Am. Math. Mon. 57, 1-6 (1950; Zbl 0035.157)]. The present authors present concise simple solutions of various optimal problems related to the above ideas using classical inequalities .
