Beating a bee hive with a stick is not exactly good if you actually want 
them to give you honey.

You're right, it is interesting. That's why Computer Science came up 
with a general and generic answer to it as soon as people started to 
think about these kind of problems.

I'm not bluffing. Yes, you're right, the problem at hand doesn't only 
seem to be difficult, it used to be diffult. Used to be, because 
computer science already solved it and it's a standard algorithm. All 
you have to do is to take that algorithm and implement it.

The very point in CS and the use of VHL languages is that you don't need 
to worry about problems anymore that have been solved for decades.

So, will you give me 200€ when I write an implementation for Oz and some 
documentation for you?

Have a nice weekend,
