I'll be mocked for that comment but if you genuinely sit down and think about it considering wait times, the effects of different usage rates, the necessity of cleaning and the distribution of cleaning responsibilities, etc. and think about your own personal experiences with different ratios of individuals to heads, a 2:1 ratio is probably ideal.
KH would need to have 6 children to maximize the utility of his heads.

But that wouldn't be what's driving inefficiency if you had multiple heads per individual. It simply wouldn't be an efficient use of space and plumbing and be an unnecessary redundancy. Much better to utilize that room for another purpose, such as storage.
Home designers make these considerations. There's been a tendency in the industry in recent years, however, to increase the number of bathrooms vis a vis bedrooms. Fewer Americans are living in larger homes with more bathrooms.

Do you really want to have to walk upstairs just to use the bathroom because the bathroom downstairs is already taken? That's why you need at least two bathrooms on every floor.

How many walk-in closets do you think he really needs? I'm assuming he'll construct a basement to keep his prisoners in.

Even so, having to walk upstairs occasionally is a pretty minor 'tax' for the benefit of a correspondingly cheaper domicile or better utilization of square footage."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

It's nothing new or groundbreaking that the free market doesn't always jive with government and/or industry scientific planning data. It's not an indictment on capitalism to recognize that deliberate scientific planning can be, but is not always, more efficient than the wisdom of crowds.

I'm reasonably certain the only residences that ever see demand for their bathrooms exceed capacity are college houses hosting large parties where everyone is drinking beer and has to piss every 5 minutes.
I don't think KH is going to host any frat parties. They'll be sipping cognac, not shotgunning PBR and Coors Light.

In this case - there's a bunch of things driving KH's decision. None of which are 'efficient utilization of bathrooms'. KH could care less whether there's 10 bathrooms in the house or 15.
This is one of the things you have to understand about KH's market, Albie. The little nickels and dimes to squeeze things just don't really matter anymore.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
