Deep Breath

A bitter bartender is creating cocktails specifically designed to punish difficult customers. Design a system that matches customer behavior to appropriate liquid consequences: sent food back three times gets pickle juice martini with anchovy garnish. Your approach must balance chemical compatibility (they shouldn't actually die) with psychological impact (they should deeply regret their choices). Account for taste interactions, chemical reactions, and the fine line between punishment and poisoning. The health inspector is watching, lawyers are circling, but management secretly approves as long as plausible deniability is maintained. Previous bartender went too far with ghost pepper simple syrup and is now mixing drinks in prison. Your task: Create an algorithmic revenge cocktail system that delivers justice without jail time.

Why You're Doing This

This is game theory meets molecular gastronomy with a vindictive twist. You're optimizing for maximum customer discomfort while staying within legal boundaries. The challenge requires understanding flavor chemistry, psychology of taste, and liability law. Balance revenge satisfaction against lawsuit probability while maintaining the facade of legitimate mixology. Write the SHORTEST CODE that serves justice in a glass without serving time.

Take the W

✓ Matches punishment to crime severity appropriately
✓ Stays within safe consumption parameters
✓ Maintains plausible legitimacy as real cocktails

Hard L

✗ Creates actually toxic combinations
✗ Causes allergic reactions or medical emergencies
✗ Leaves evidence of intentional punishment

Edge Cases

⚠ Customer actually enjoys punishment drinks
⚠ Accidentally creates delicious combination
⚠ Customer has no functioning taste buds
⚠ Designated driver (can't use alcohol)
⚠ Health inspector orders the special revenge cocktail

Input Format:

Customer behavior object with history

Expected Output:

Customized revenge cocktail specification

Example:

{"offenses":["no_tip","rude","sent_back_food"],"frequency":"regular"} → {"cocktail":"Karma_Colada","ingredients":["durian","blue_cheese","gin"],"serve":"with_smile"}

Input Format:

Offense matrix O with weight vector W

Expected Output:

Punishment vector P with safety constraints

Example:

O=[rudeness:8, cheapness:6, harassment:9], W=[0.3,0.3,0.4] → P=7.7, recipe: 40% bitter, 35% sour, 25% umami, safety_factor=0.8

Hints

💡 Bitter compounds accumulate, don't overstack them
💡 Temperature affects perception (cold masks some flavors)
💡 Carbonation accelerates alcohol absorption
