You spend one day of a trip to Rapid City photographing the South Dakota Badlands, a place known for its unusual land formations. You are an amateur photographer and very particular about light, so you picked one spot with a wide view and listed n features you want to photograph from it.
Feature i only looks the way you want while the sun sits in the right range of positions. You may start that photograph no earlier than time ai, and it must be finished by time bi. Repositioning the tripod and the camera takes a while, so every photograph takes exactly t units of time. You photograph one feature at a time and never interrupt a photograph once it has started, so a photograph begun at time s occupies the whole interval from s to s+t.
Decide whether you can photograph all n features in one day.
