Answer 1

Just imagine patients taking many different medicines.

Some pills go into interaction with another,

in some cases - positive interaction, in other cases - bad interaction.

Another thing is, that some pills share some substances. So, taking a few different pills, might result in exceeding daily limit of one of consisting substances.

To sum it up:

Program input: set of medicines

Program output: information about interactions.

Basic version: Return True if no bad interaction, Return False if there is bad interaction.

Complex version: Whatever detailed information you imagine, that might be helpful :).

How about a small expert system for personal computer configurations? A PC is built out of components (processor, motherboard, RAM). For each component category there are several options (vendor, type, price) and some components might require or exclude each other.
