There is a set of courses with the starting and finishing time of each. You want to know, given a number K, if it's possible to take at least K courses. You cannot choose any two overlapping courses. Prove that the problem is NP-complete, which means that choosing courses is indeed a difficult thing in our life. Use a reduction from the Independent set problem.

A number in Z+is written on the back of each of three cards. The numbers are not necessarily different but the sum of the three numbers is 14. Each card is flipped backwards so that the number cannot be seen by anyone. Carter, Mars, and Mann each select one of the cards, being careful not to let the other two see the number that is on the card. Carter says, after looking at his card, “I know that Mars and Mann have different numbers.” Mars then says, “I already knew that thet hree cards had different numbers.” At this point, Mann confidently exclaims, “I now know all thet hree numbers!” What were the numbers and who had which number?

e. A television producer designed a program that will include a comedy and advertisements. The advertiser insists on at least 4 minutes of advertising time. The producer insists on not more than 8 minutes of advertisement. The comedian insists on at least 5 minutes of the comedy portion. The total time allotted for the comedy and advertisement cannot exceed one hour. If it has been determined that each minute of advertising attracts 400,000 viewers and each minute of the comedy program attracts 405,000 viewers, how many minutes should be given to each of the comedy and advertisement in order to maximize the number of viewers?

Imagine you are in a city that has a grid of streets with perfectly square blocks and that the only way to get from one intersection to another is to follow the block system. How many blocks will you have to walk (or pay the cabdriver for) if you want to get from the intersection of 10th Ave and 25th Street to the intersection of 6th Ave and 28th Street? If you had a jet pack and could fly over the buildings, how many blocks in length would the shortest path be? How does this compare to #1? (Hint: Pythagorean Theorem)
