+'''Explorer's Dilemna - aka the Knapsack Problem
+After spending several days exploring a deserted island out in the Pacific, 
+you stumble upon a cave full of pirate loot! There are coins, jewels, 
+paintings, and many other types of valuable objects.
+​
+However, as you begin to explore the cave and take stock of what you've 
+found, you hear something. Turning to look, the cave has started to flood! 
+You'll need to get to higher ground ASAP. 
+​
+There IS enough time for you to fill your backpack with some of the items 
+in the cave. Given that...
+- you have 60 seconds until the cave is underwater
+- your backpack can hold up to 50 pounds
+- you want to maximize the value of the items you retrieve (since you can 
+only make one trip)
+​
+HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH ITEMS TO TAKE?
