Don't.

Model the problem. Make the test result conditional...

Assume it's perfect. Then assume its so and so much. Then assume it's so and so much + 30 banana's. Then ...+60 bananas...+90 banana's

Pretty soon you have a curve, dependent on what it might be. Compare two curves, one will be better than the other over a certain value of banana's. That can be your FOM for a given block if your model is valid... Performance/unknown.

That's how I would do it in this situation. Make the unknown a variable, see what happens. Chances are the better block will be obvious.

Pondering on...
