In the first level you have to guess 1 directory from 6, in the second 1/20 and in the third 1/20. That's 1/2400 in total. From the depth point of view of a familiar user it's not far, but from the breadth-first search a user infamiliar with the system has to do, it's far. BTW when we are at building tree structures for experienced users - the optimum tree is one that minimizes the average access depth. One can count (or estimate) the access statistics for individual leaves (documents, paragraphs or sentences) and then build kinda Huffman tree. CL<
