a: protein folding ~
b: playing Pebble Beach blindfolded

What:

"If you just look at the physics of the problem, protein folding is like playing Pebble Beach blindfolded, except much harder. The golf course here is the "conformational phase space" corresponding to a given chain of amino acids, a vast if notional terrain across which are laid out all the possible shapes that a given chain of amino acids could."
