    Brilliant problem for calculus or geometry. This reminds me of a "Slice It" app problem.

    Very funny (& true) first comment. I wonder about making this a much more open ended problem. What if you were told that Samantha inserted $20 and got $2.60 in change? What if she inserted $20 and got 12 tokens? What if she got 12 tokens and $2.60 in change, but you weren't told what she inserted? What would these discussions look like?

    Wondering if we can make this a math club problem? Provide a spreadsheet of capital-to-capital distances and ask students to design a "best" path. This is a very famous and very difficult problem. It would connect into the scaling problem we had with the planets in the fall & the US map optimization. Also plays well into the underlying "strategy" conversations we've been having.
