To clarify, the contest changed from the first post to the redefinition, at Atul's suggestion.
Just optimize for a single turn, and do not exceed the limit for any resource - nothing carries over. However, depending on the values assigned to the resources, you get points or negative points for the amount of each resource you use - so the specific amount of each resource you use is still quite important.
