Santa is ready to distribute the presents for this Christmas, in a nearby town.
His bag can only carry a maximum of 50kg of presents so the reindeers don’t get tired during their journey (and because of Santa's back problem).
- Presents come in blue, red, yellow and green wrapping paper.
- Inside the bag the presents are stacked, from heavier to lighter.
- There can't be adjacent presents with same color, to add more variety.
Find the best way to maximize the present weight following those conditions.
Example:
max = 50kg
presentWeights = [(5, red), (4, blue), (15, green), (14, yellow), (12, green), (2, blue), (6, red)]
solution = [(15, green), (14, yellow), (12, green), (6, red), (2, blue)]
