"What problem have you solved, ever, that was worth solving where you knew all the given information in advance? No problem worth solving is like that. In the real world; you have a surplus of information and you have to filter it or; you don’t have sufficient information and you have to go find some." - Dan Meyer

    Doesn't surplus of information imply that you have all the information in advance? If you can write a shift-scheduling algorithm that fairly and legally and humanely arranges shifts for a large multiple-location company, that's worth a ton of money. I'm sure there's lots of other examples.

    I knew the answer but had no way of successfully proving it. The attempts were enjoyable, however.
