          You two are in a rush.

                 AMITA
          We're giving a joint-lecture today on
          Multivariate Hypergeometric
          Distribution. We haven't even started
          to prepare.

This Demonstration illustrates all supported discrete distributions in Mathematica 7.

            (eyeing Charlie)
          Got another plan?

                 CHARLIE

          Minimization to map routes criminals
          would take -- avoiding law
          enforcement hot spots like police

Attention gamers! You are a traveling salesman. Your task: visit the cities (represented as dots on the gameboard) one by one by clicking them. Start anywhere you like. You will trace out a route as you proceed. You must visit every city once and then return to your starting point. The goal is to find the shortest possible route that accomplishes this. Your total distance is recorded at the bottom of the panel, along with the total distance of the best route that Mathematica can find.
