Balthazar and Artemis are cousins who grow stick cactus in adjacent plots. Each can choose to work somewhat hard and expend $200 worth of effort, or can work extremely hard and expend $300 worth of effort. If either works somewhat hard, he can produce stick cactus that sell for a total of $650. If either works extremely hard, he can produce stick cactus which sell for a total of $800. Both Balthazar and Artemis are equally good at growing stick cactus.
