Furnco manufactures desks and chairs. Each desk uses 4 units of wood, and each chair uses 3. A desk contributes $40 to profit, and a chair contributes$25. Marketing restrictions require that the number of chairs produced be at least twice the number of desks produced. If 20 units of wood are available, formulate an LP to maximize Furnco’s profit. Then graphically solve the LP.

On another archaeological dig, Alley discovered another ancient oil lamp. Again she rubbed the lamp, and a different genie named Curray appeared. After Alley explained her run-in with Murray, Curray responded, "Well, since you know my brother Murray, it's like we're almost family. I'm going to give you know my brother Murray, it's like we're almost family. I'm going to give you four wishes instead of three. What do you say?" Since things had worked out so well the last time, she said, "I already found the Rama Nujan, so now I'd like to find the Dormant Diamond". "You got it," replied Curray. And instantly 12 identical-looking stones appeared. She then used her last three wishes to acquire three balance scales. Each scale was clearly labeled, "One Use Only." Alley looked at the stones and was unable to differentiate any one from the others. Curray explained, "The diamond is embedded in one of the stones. Eleven of the stones weigh the same, but the stone containing the jewel weighs either slightly more or slightly less than the others. I am not telling you which - you must find the right stone and tell me whether it is heavier or lighter." Alley could use each of the three balance scales exactly once. She was able to select the stone containing the Dormant Diamond from among the 12 identical-looking stones and determine whether it was heavier or lighter than each of the li other stones. This puzzle is a challenge. Try to figure out how Alley might have accomplished this feat.
