Good luck! If anything, yesterday’s problem is motivating (if not challenging) because I’m trying to use it to learn the simplex algorithm (off mediocre online tutorials—doubly so considering I think the problem needs dual simplex [pun intended]). I’ve spent far more time with pencil and paper trying to understand the algorithm than actually try writing code for it.
Yeah, ill have to bust out the pen and paper as well. Good learning excercise though :) Edit: If you find any good resources, please share :)
