Sean McCheaty has $500
He can spend all $500 and put in 1 hour to finish his project. But for every hour he actually puts in effort, he learns $10 worth of information he won't have to pay someone else to handle for him.
Sean sells flowers at the market during the day and averages $12/hr but due to asthma can only work 4 hours a day.
Sean's mom can help him learn twice as fast, but is only available 2 hours a day and will not cook dinner if she has to help Sean, and he will have to buy his own food. Assuming that he will spend $6 on dinner if the day is even numbered, and $8 on dinner if the day is odd numbered, is Sean adopted?
