How did you solve your LP? I think the issue might be due to an extreme point solution from simplex-type methods. Interior point methods might give you something different. Have you tried that?

Not sure if people notice the last sentence in the article:

"Murphy ran a few other games through it, including Tetris, and found that the program would eventually just pause itself rather than continue playing and lose, a tactic shared by annoying, over-competitive cousins around the world since 1985."

It's definitely an intentional repetition of stacking diacritics. ก็ has a meaning in Thai, but not ก ็ ็ ็

In this example, the wage rate is $106,600, while your site report, I believe, the max rate of $193,400. I was shocked for a moment to see a data scientist making almost $200K!

Same here. My travel agent can always find me cheaper international tickets than what I could find on the internet. Does anyone know exactly how this works?
