Review text

This paper presents a survey on intertemporal optimization problems arising in different areas such as literature, theology, ethics, sports, health care, criminology, vampirology, and history. Although some of the models considered seem to lack seriousness, they are undoubtedly valuable for real-life economic decisions.
