There are n stacks of n identical-looking coins. All of the coins in one of these stacks are counterfeit, while all the coins in the other stacks are genuine. Every genuine coin weighs 10 grams; every fake weighs 11 grams. You have an analytical scale that can determine the exact weight of any number of coins. a. Devise a brute-force algorithm to identify the stack with the fake coins and determine its worst-case efficiency class. b. Find a constant time algorithm to identify the stack with the fake coins. Hint: It can be done in only one weighting.

Polynomial Time

The problems for which the deterministic polynomial-time algorithm exists belong to the complexity class (p) and it is central in the field of computational complexity theory. According to Cobham’s thesis, polynomial time is a synonym for “feasible”, “fast”, and “efficient”.
