Lemonade Stand Simulation

I got this Lemonade Stand Simulation link from Sid's blog a couple of months back. He'd played this game as part of one of his classes at University of Michigan Business School. Its a fun game. I played it a bit back then, but now, I'm playing it much more after I saw the roadside food stall guy couple of days back. Total timepass game. But, the more I play it, the more I realize how difficult it is to maximize profits and understand the dynamics of the industry..





You start off with 20 bucks at the beginning of the game. The game goes for 30 days (which takes about 10 min to play). Everyday morning, based on the weather forecast, you decide the quantity of sugar, cups, ice-cubes and lemons you need.
My max profit has been only $6.28. Lets see how much better someone else can do.

You'll sure appreciate every roadside vendor after this!
