Abstract
For any $n > 2$ we construct an exchangeable sequence of positive continuous random variables, $X_1, \ldots, X_n$, for which, among all stopping rules, $\tau$, based on the $X$'s, $\sup_\tau P\{X_{\tau} = X_1 \vee \cdots \vee X_n\}$ is achieved by a rule based only on the relative ranks of the $X$'s.
