Question
Introduction
The year is 3500 and your spaceship has crashed on the planet Fluxion. Fortunately, your computer has
survived the impact, and you open it up to determine the next course of action. You learn that your computer
has some maps and information on the civilization, and that the city (and perhaps the planet) was abandoned
several years ago. Based on the maps, it appears that your only hope of reaching a communication device is to
head to what appears to be the center of a city that you crashed near. Your computer warns you that the city is
protected by several gates, which have passcodes to activate.
The maps and images show a strange alien language that you have never encountered. You ask your
computer if it can translate this language and are told that the language, based on its structure, can only be
translated into mathematics. The computer will translate the gates' riddles and any other information into
mathematics. You will need to answer the riddle as posed by your computer (in mathematical language) for it to
be able to enter the passcode for the gates. Fortunately, you have a notebook, pencil, and a mathematics text
on your computer as supports. You take your supplies, take one last look at your broken ship, and head to
towards the first gate.
