Ding! The chime rings as a new customer walks into your small shop, The Bug Boutique, which is renowned for its deluxe insect habitats. As the customer browses, they start to look more and more confused. They tell you that none of these products look familiar to what they’ve bought in the past. You show them the order form from the last time you restocked your supply.

“This form shows all the available products, but I don’t always order every item. The item codes are a bit tricky to decipher, but each brand provides discounts for their products,” you say.
“I never order any items with a quantity less than 10, unless the product is iPicnic or Bugkind or it’s decorative,” you explain to the customer.
You continue on with your explanation, “For NEW items, the discount is only half of the brand’s standard discount. And that’s how we here at The Bug Boutique make sure we have the best inventory at the best price.”
The customer thanks you for your help and lists what they’re looking to buy, noting that they want 7 unique products but 8 products total:
1) “My old enclosure was the Cool Little Bamboo Banner (OTON). I want to buy an enclosure from a different brand that starts with the same letter. And I want the largest discount possible.”
2) “The food I used to buy was Five Star Buggy Surprise (FTGP). I want to buy food that gets the largest discount possible, but from a different brand.”
3) “My old power source was the Full Oomph Watt Caddy. I can’t remember if the code was LOTD or LHTY, but I want a power source from whichever of those brands that you have more TOTAL inventory from.”
4) “I recently bought a feeding system called Automated Server MotorFeeder (AETD), so I want to buy some food from the same brand.”
5) “The filter I used to buy was the Kleen Green Matter Appliance (NNRE). I’d like a filter from the brand that gives a 20% lower discount overall than the NNRE brand offers, because I want to spare no expense on the filter I buy.”
6) “I used to buy Massive Moon Scoops (SMM). I want a product from a brand that starts with the same letter as the brand that makes Massive Moon Scoops. Also, the item code should anagram to what I would like to pay for this order.”
7) “I want a product that would have an item code of SixSixSeven if it were from a different brand.”
8) “I used to buy the Shiny Happy Goods (TIH). If it would have been from BusyBuzzi, it would have had a different item code, which actually would be the same item code as something that BusyBuzzi offers already. That item that BusyBuzzi offers is the item type that I want, but I want the one that’s at the lowest discount from any brand.”
“No problem!” you exclaim happily. “I have everything you’re looking for.” The customer thanks you for your help and says “Wow, you’re really knowledgeable about..."
