Sample problem You and a friend have a large heart-shaped chocolate bar which you want to split equally.

Sample Problem Trucks belonging to companies such as UPS and Fed. Ex have packages to deliver to a list of destinations, generally between 100 and 200, destinations per truck per day. Travel time between any two destinations is known or can be estimated. In what order should the driver deliver the packages in order to finish in the least amount of time or using the least amount of gas?
