Question text
Consider the following table of activities that describes a project network. Without causing
the critical path to become noncritical or otherwise wasting money, by how many days
max could you crash this project? Assume you can crash only one activity at a time and
that crashing is necessary regardless of cost. You do not want to crash the critical path(s)
beyond the point where it (they) is no longer critical as this will not reduce project duration.
