\subsubsection*{(a)}
-We generalized this problem to fitting pallets into $T$ trucks, with capacity $c_T$ and maximum amount of pallets $p_T$. Then we added variables $N$, $P$, $C$, $S$ and $D$ representing Nuzzles, Prittles, Crottles, Skipples and Dupples respectively.
-The size of $P$ is to be determined.
-To put a constraint on the capacity of a truck, we created the following formula:\\
-$\sum_{x \in X} (ite (x \in T) (weight(x)) (0))$, where $X \in {N, P, C, S, D}$.\\ We summed the result for all $X$, and compared it to $c_T$.
-We did exactly the same for the amount of pallets, where we substituted $weight(x)$ with $1$, and $c_T$ with $p_T$.
-After this, we added the static constraints that $s \in S$ must be in truck $1$, $2$ or $3$ as these are our cooling trucks.
-Finally we added a constraint saying all $n \in N$ are distinct.
-
-Since we have $8$ trucks, with maximum amount of pallets $8$, we can carry at most $64$ pallets. This means that we can carry at most $22$ pallets of prittles. We searched for the solution of how many pallets we could actually carry in a binary sense: First we tried $11$ pallets, then $16$, then $19$, $21$ and finally $22$. These tries were all satisfiable, thus we can carry at most $22$ pallets of prittles.
+We generalize this problem to fitting $m$ different types of pallets into $n$
+trucks. Let $B$ be the set of pallet types (with building blocks).
+Each type of a building block $b \in B$ has a corresponding weight $W_b$ and a
+total number $C_b$ that must be spread over all trucks.
+We introduce $m \times n$ different variables that describe how many
+pallets of each type are assigned to each truck. For every truck $1 \leq j \leq
+n$ and every $b \in B$, we define variable $b_j$ as the number of pallets of
+type $b$ assigned to truck $j$.
+
+In our scenario, $B = \{ N, P, S, C, D \}$ (denoting Nuzzles, Prittles,
+Skipples, Crottles and Dupples respectively).
+We have maximum weight capacity $W_{truck}=8000$ and maximum pallet capacity
+$C_{truck}=8$.
+
+First a sanity check, the number of assigned pallets must be positive:
+\begin{align}
+\label{eq:truck1}
+\bigwedge_{b \in B}
+\bigwedge_{i=1}^n
+b_i \geq 0
+\end{align}
+
+Next, we require that all pallets are indeed distributed over the trucks:
+\begin{align}
+\label{eq:truck2}
+\bigwedge_{b \in B}
+C_b =
+\sum_{i=1}^n
+b_i
+\end{align}
+
+Each truck has a maximum pallet and weight capacity that must not be exceeded:
+\begin{align}
+\label{eq:truck3}
+\bigwedge_{i=1}^n
+(
+ (\sum_{b \in B} b_i)
+ \leq
+ C_{truck}
+) \land (
+ (\sum_{b \in B} b_i \cdot w_i)
+ \leq
+ W_{truck}
+)
+\end{align}
+
+The above ingredients describe the basic capacity requirements. Next, additional
+requirements are incorporated. These may make some of the above requirements
+partially unnecessary, but we choose to keep these for easier understanding.
+Optimizations (like subsumption) can be easily handled by the SAT solvers.
+
+At most three trucks can store Skipples. This can be expressed as each triple of
+trucks having the sum equal to $C_S$ (the total number of skipples).
+Or alternatively, all trucks other than these triple must carry zero Skipples.
+We tried to implement both, but for some reason the second comparison was faster
+(probably because the first one was expressed as a conjunction with small
+disjunctions while the latter one is expressed as one big disjunction). The
+alternative is expressed as:
+\begin{align}
+\label{eq:truck4}
+\bigvee_{1 \leq x,y,z \leq n, x \neq y, y \neq z, x \neq z}
+\bigwedge_{1 \leq i \leq n, i \not\in\{x,y,z\}}^n
+S_i = 0
+\end{align}
+
+Finally the limitation that trucks can carry only one pallet of Nuzzles:
+\begin{align}
+\label{eq:truck5}
+\bigwedge_{i=1}^n
+N_i \leq 1
+\end{align}
+
+We wrote a generator program that takes the conjunction of the above parts
+(ingredients \ref{eq:truck1}, \ref{eq:truck2}, \ref{eq:truck3}, \ref{eq:truck4}
+and \ref{eq:truck5}). At first, $C_P$ was unknown, so we removed clauses that
+relied on this. The initial evaluation with z3 finished within a second and
+allowed us to make a better educated guess at the actual (maximum) value of
+$C_P$. It turns out that with 22 pallets were unassigned, so we used this in the
+next evaluation.
+
+Evaluation of the generated output (shown in Listing~\ref{lst:palletsInTrucks})
+using the command \texttt{python generate-chipdesign.py 22 | z3 -smt -in}
+finished in 100 milliseconds. The result is shown in
+Table~\ref{tbl:palletsInTrucks}. It happens that all trucks can be filled,
+including 22 Prittles. As mentioned before, the alternative check for
+Ingredient~\ref{eq:truck4} takes more time (200ms).

\subsubsection*{(b)}
For part b of the assignment, we added a set of constraints saying that whenever a truck contains a pallet of Crottles, it may not contain a pallet of Prittles.
