Abstract
In this article, we pose a challenge concerning an optimal algorithm for transferring heat from a hot liquid to a cold one. The solutions discussed here demonstrate the usefulness of choosing the right variables. We illustrate different possible approaches---algebra, calculus, and numerical simulation--each of which has its charm. Instructors can make good use of this to illustrate multiple methods of problem-solving in an undergraduate classroom.
