You run a bike shop with 200 bikes. You sell about 20 a day, and order 20 a day from the factory. Bikes take 5 days to arrive.

On day 10 a famous cyclist wins a race, and sales jump to 30 a day for good.

Goal: Never run out of bikes, and have between 150 and 250 in the shop from day 45 to the end.
