Hello everybody.
I have the following problem. Three irrigation events should implemented in a 19days period. Between 2 irrigation events there should be at least a 5 days interval (i.e. if the first irrigation is implemented in day 1 the second should take place at day 6 or latter). No irrigation should be scheduled later than day 19. How can I calculate the maximum number of irrigation schedules that meet the above mentioned restrictions? I have solved the problem by hand and I know that they are 35, but is there any mathematical formula that solves the problem?
I thank is advance anyone who would spend time to read the problem and give an answer
