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? |
