This codekata was designed by Agilismo.es to be used at XGN 2011, in Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain), hence is based on a metaphor related to the fish, but actually hides another problem.
In the auction of a Galician fishing port, a Galician entrepreneur has decided to market fresh Galician fish in other cities of Europe, for it will start with a small van which is can carry up to 200 kg of fish .
For the first trip has purchased 50 kg of clams, 100 kg of octopus and other 50 kg of crabs, but he wonders where he should sell this load for maximum benefit.
These are the selling prices in various local markets:
| €/kg | Madrid | Barcelona | Lisboa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clams | 500 | 450 | 600 |
| Octopus | 0 | 120 | 100 |
| Crabs | 450 | 0 | 500 |
But we must also bear in mind that loading the van will cost 5€ plus 2€ per km driven.
The distances to possible destinations are:
- To MADRID : 800 Km
- To BARCELONA : 1100 Km
- To LISBOA : 600 Km
And finally, keep in mind that buyers estimate that the purchase value of the load depreciates by 1% for every 100 kilometers traveled.
Remember, The aim is to meet our entrepreneurial friend where he should sell seafood to get the most benefit.
This data is only an example for one day, you must solve the problem for every possible combination of product, city and price given by our enterpreneur.
