Buy ⌈log₂ p⌉ books, where p is the number of problems you have.
I think you might have to buy one more book as well? If I had four problems, I'd still be left with one.

Hmmm, this is going to take forever...
Better buy all the books and then not start reading even the first one ever.
No, I will absolutely read the first 2 or 3 pages before I quit.
OK, maybe just the first page.
Pretty soon most of your problems will be related to buying and storing books.
Nah you'll quickly be close enough to functionally have 0 problems.
Of the original 100%, yes.
But my biggest problem is that I ran out of shelf space!
