Abstract

A realization of one algorithm for solving the classical knapsack problem which is much faster than the dynamical programming method and requires less memory is suggested. The popular situation in the Big Brother TV show is used to exemplify its applicability. For the purpose, the number of the wishes of all players are maximized.
