Problem Specific Notes:

• The problem definition file is Simpleton.par
• The maximum is obviously when the first five variables equal 10 and the last five variables equal 1. The function value for this case is 100000.
• This function is trivial to us, but the computer does not see any shortcuts, and it searches for the minimum solution blindly.
• The graphical display shows that although the evolution mechanism is gradual, evolution moves in well defined steps (as can be seen by the horizontal lines).
