IMPORTANT: Take your time and do not rush through the scripts. Rather, try to understand new concepts and let them sink in.

Meet Max :) Max is attending Cake Competition and he wants to win! He can choose to eat tortes that (it takes 2 minutes to consume 1 torte) or apple pies (3 minutes to eat one). For each eaten torte Max will get 4 points and for each eaten apple pie - 5 points. Now think about what decision variables you could create. Then think about contraints and write down your thoughts. After that just download jupyter notebook and see how the problem is solved.

Task 1. Create a project in Watson Studio

Task 2. Use option ‘Add to project’, then select option ‘from file’ and use notebook from link below.

Task 3. Run Jupyter Notebook file in Watson Studio and analyze the outcome. Try to change decision variables or minutes needed to eat torte of apple pie. See how it influences result.
