That's the problem when you make them up, you're either convinced it is too simple or worry that no-one will ever think in the same direction that your brain wondered off when you weren't paying attention to it properly.

Collaboration
Anyone want to work out how I was trying to lead you to that?

Well, maybe if we all work together we could do it...

both
the little company - co
and
the termination - abortion
get all - all
messed up - anagram of coabortionall
collaboration, like the French working with the Nazis (Germans).

Ah.
I think you may have over-thought that one!

Yes, there was a lot of crossing out on my note pad.
Tomorrow's will be nice and simple but not obvious (I think / hope), someone give me a prod if it isn't up at the right time, I'm supposed to be working from home in the morning but remembering to do things is not a strong point of mine these days.

I would love to see it if there was "the ultimate solution" in the first round of the competition and the author then refusing to enter the second round and not sending in his source code but offering it to them for the money it's worth instead

So, they're basically looking for the equivalent of what a good CNC-lathe algorithm will produce. Why do I get the feeling that they are looking for someone to write the software that will maximize their printing opportunities, so they can take arbitrary designs and look to fit them into the minimum amount of space? And why does their name make me think of chimpanzees?

Yeah! WTH is Cimpress anyway? As you say: I am somehow reminded of the Planet of the Apes?

I'm suspicious these days of such promotions, but I do note that if you read the "about the company" content it claims the founder holds a patent (one of two-hundred they claim the company owns) on optimizing pre-press set-ups in terms of maximizing use of paper ... and that translates into a best-fit algorithm if you ask me.
Still, my nose tells me something doesn't smell right here.
cheers, Bill

Thanks for sharing that. I actually think the documentation which explains the puzzle is very well written. It's very clear.

Any plans for leader boards or anything like that?
Also, I could get substantially better times by using CPLEX (I'm using GLPK now, which kind of sucks), but that seems to be against the rules.
