 Good idea.  My problem is this: 
 
Only one person has voted.  What does this mean?  Is the problem not interesting enough, or already too complex? 
 
At any rate, giving each unit a "value" and changing the problem definition to maximize "value produced" instead of minimizing "resources wasted", or do some combination, would be interesting.  And probably more useful. 
 
Anyone else have a thought on that subject?
