A quaker was walking down a country road when he was suddenly confronted by a robber brandishing a pistol. The robber exclaimed, "Your money or your life!" My friend replied, "I cannot deliver my money because I should be aiding thee in evildoing, but exchange is lawful, and I will give thee my purse for the pistol." The thief consented to accept the purse, then the quaker pointed the gun to the robber's head and said, "Now buddy, give me back my pocketbook or the weapon may go off fire," according to the robber.
Five schoolgirls sat for an examination. Their parents – so they thought – showed an undue degree of interest in the result. They therefore agreed that, in writing home about the examination, each girl should make one true statement and one untrue one. The following are the relevant passages from their letters: Betty Kitty was 2nd I was 3rd Ethel I was on top Joan was 2nd Joan I was 3rd Ethel was last Kitty I came out 2nd Mary was only 4th Mary I was 4th Betty was 1stWrite a prolog program to solve this puzzle. A completely working solution is required for extra points, i.e. all or nothing proposition.
According to legend, the first century Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus,was captured along with a band of 40 compatriots by Roman soldiers duringthe Jewish–Roman war. The captured soldiers decided that they preferredsuicide to being captured and devised a plan for their demise. They wereto form a circle and kill every third soldier until they were all dead. Josephand one other decided they wanted no part of this and quickly calculatedwhere they needed to place themselves in the circle so that they would bothsurvive. Write a program that allows you to place n people in a circle andspecify that every m person will be killed. The program should determinethe number of the last person left in the circle. Use a circularly linked listto solve the problem.
A bandit armed with a revolver approached a quaker as he strolled down a rural road. A robbery was in progress, and he said, "Your money or your life!" My buddy answered, "I can't give you my money because then I'd be helping you do evil, but exchange is legal, so here, take my pocketbook in return for your gun." The robber accepted the purse, but the Quaker put the pistol to his head and said, "Now friend, give me back my pocketbook or the weapon may go off fire," as recounted by the thief.
A bunch of people are living on an island, when a visitor comes with a strangeorder: all blue-eyed people must leave the island as soon as possible. There will be a flight out at 8:00pm every evening. Each person can see everyone else's eye color, but they do not know their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). Additionally, they do not know how many people have blue eyes, although they do know that at least one person does. How many days will it take theblue-eyed people to leave?

Bob and Alice want to send each other secret messages that no one else will have access to. They have decided that they will use a locked box to hold the secret messages, and they will drop the box off in each other’s mailboxes. The problem is that if they use a combination lock, they will have to send the combination to the box and someone might intercept it. Here are the materials they have access to: A box that can be locked with a combination lock Two combination locks (the kinds that click shut that you might use on a school locker) Paper Pencil Describe a protocol Bob and Alice can set up to deliver these messages securely.
Last weekend, Mr. Moki took Daniel to a family reunion. Since Daniel had never attended a reunion, Mr. Moki introduced him to the four other kids in the room. Five kids then sat together. When Mr. Brown asked about their age, the first kid A said, "I am 2 years older than B on my left." B decided to do the same and said, "I am 2 years older than C on my left as well." C imitated, "I am 2 years older than D on my left." D said, "I am 2 years older than Daniel." When it came to Daniel, he answered honestly that he was 10. Mr. Moki burst into laughter and asked, "This is fun. How will you solve this problem?" "I am 10, so D is 10+2=12, C is 12+2=14, B is 14+2=16, and A is 16+2=18." Daniel answered quickly. "Well done!" said Mr. Moki, "Can any of you generalize a formula?" B reckoned that this was a recursive relation. A, who had been learning to program, said that this could be easily implemented by a loop Work required: Design the algorithm and implement the algorithm using an iterative…
Mr Monkey is standing in front of a row of banana trees on Skull Island which actually belong to his rival King Kong. The banana trees are unusually high on that island. He wants to steal as many bananas as possible. Here is his plan. He will climb up one of the trees and then keep jumping from one tree to the immediately next one, while collecting all the bananas from each of them. But he will not switch the direction of his jumps. No longer being the agile young monkey he once used to be, he can only jump a total distance of L, after which he will climb down and run away before Kong crushes his head. Let the trees be labelled as t1, t2, ·.· tn. Let v;, Vi = 1, 2, · ..n be the number of bananas in tree t;. Further, let l;, i = 1,2, Can you write an algorithm to help Mr. Monkey steal as many bananas as possible ? Your algorithm should be a polynomial in n, L. Please show all the steps of DP as in the sample solution - subproblem definition, recurrences, pseudocode, runtime . (Statutory…

Flavius Josephus was a Jewish historian of the first century. Legend has it that hewas one of a group of 41 Jewish rebels who decided to kill themselves rather thansurrender to the Romans, who had them trapped. They decided to form a circle andto kill every third person until no one was left. Josephus, not wanting to die, calculated where he needed to stand so that he would be the last one aliveand thus would not have to die. Thus was born a class of problemsreferred to as the Josephus problem. These problems involve findingthe order of events when events in a list are not taken in order but,rather, they are taken every ith element in a cycle until none remains.For example, suppose that we have a list of seven elementsnumbered from 1 to 7:1 2 3 4 5 6 7If we were to remove every third element from the list, the first element to beremoved would be number 3, leaving the list1 2 4 5 6 7The next element to be removed would be number 6, leaving the list1 2 4 5 7 Demonstrates the use of an…
