1a) Suppose on Monday we just require a happiness level equal to +1 (since we enjoyed our weekend), and we require a total short-term benefit equal to +24 and long-term benefit equal to +15. Can we find a way to schedule the ten hours in order to achieve this goal? Justify your answer. 1b) Suppose on Wednesday we are tired from a two-day long shift and we need our happiness level to be equal to +13, together with a short-term benefit equal to +8 and long-term benefit equal to +19. Can we find a way to schedule the ten hours in order to achieve this goal? Justify your answer.
