Linear programming quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Linear programming card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Linear programming is a special case of ______ programming.
Answer
mathematical. Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming. From the Linear programming article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Hypnosis. Hypnosis 84 · Linear programming 80 · Age of Earth 76 · Battle of the Hydaspes 71 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming.
- More formally, linear programming is a technique for the optimization of a linear objective function, subject to linear equality and linear inequality constraints.
- Its feasible region is a convex polytope, which is a set defined as the intersection of finitely many half spaces, each of which is defined by a linear inequality.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Linear programming article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Linear programming
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
