appalachian_fox July 9, 2007 Share appalachian_fox Member July 9, 2007 (edited) http://xkcd.com/c287.html And like me, Playaa, I'm sure you'll try. I can't see what the waiter's big deal was, it wasn't that hard, especially if you have a good algorithm. The one thing that bothers me is that he talks about the traveling salesman problem. While NP-hard, it has nothing to do with this special case of the Knapsack Problem. As a teacher would have reminded me, this is actually the subset sum problem, which is commonly fought in cryptography, but since it's still a special case of the Knapsack Problem I don't get so pedantic.
