This challenge, offered by Dr. Meinolf Sellmann, follows a freelance web developer who receives a $10,000 budget from a client. The client wants a webpage built with as many features as possible, while also maximizing the total value delivered by those features. Each candidate feature has both a cost and a value. The developer decides which features to build — she wants to delight the client, so which features should she pick?
This is a decision under two, potentially conflicting, objectives (feature count and total value) plus a hard budget constraint. Can you devise a rational way to trade the two objectives off against each other?
