In the land of Puzzlevania, Aaron, Bob, and Charlie had an argument over which one of them was the greatest puzzle-solver of all time. To end the argument once and for all, they agreed on a duel to the death. Aaron was a poor shot and only hit his target with a probability of 1/3. Bob was a bit better and hit his target with a probability of 1/2. Charlie was an expert marksman and never missed. A hit means a kill and the person hit drops out of the duel. To compensate for the inequities in their marksmanship skills, the three decided that they would fire in turns, starting with Aaron, followed by Bob, and then by Charlie. The cycle would repeat until there was one man standing. That man would be remembered for all time as the Greatest Puzzle-Solver of All Time. An obvious and reasonable strategy is for each man to shoot at the most accurate shooter still alive, on the grounds that this shooter is the deadliest and has the best chance of hitting back.
Write a
An alternate strategy is for Aaron to intentionally miss on his first shot. Modify the program to accommodate this new strategy and output the probability of winning for each contestant. What strategy is better for Aaron, to intentionally miss on the first shot or to try and hit the best shooter?

- Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Every moment, a battle between two distinct saints happens. These legends can be picked self-assertively (it's even conceivable that it is a similar two saints that were battling during the latest possible second). At the point when two saints of equivalent levels battle, no one successes the battle. At the point when two legends of various levels battle, the one with the more elevated level successes, and his level increments by 1. The champ of the competition is the main saint that successes in no less than 100500 battles (note that it's conceivable that the competition keeps going forever assuming no legend wins this number of battles, there is no victor). A potential champ is a saint to such an extent that there exists an arrangement of battles that this legend turns into the victor of the competition. Compute the number of potential champs among n legends. Input The primary line contains one integer…arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. The I-th stage is named with an integer artificial intelligence (0≤ai≤n−i). At the point when the character is remaining on the I-th stage, the player can move the character to any of the j-th stages where i+1≤j≤i+ai. If the character is on the I-th stage where ai=0 and i≠n, the player loses the game. Since Gildong thinks the current game isn't adequately hard, he needs to make it considerably harder. He needs to change a few (perhaps zero) names to 0 so that there remains precisely one way of winning. He needs to alter the game as little as could really be expected, so he's requesting you to see as the base number from stages that ought to have their names changed. Two different ways are unique if and provided that there exists a stage the character gets to in one manner however not in the alternate manner. Input Each test contains at least one experiments.

- Mastermind is a code-breaking game for two players. In the original real-world game, one player A selects 4 pegs out of 6 colors and puts them in a certain fixed order; multiples of colors are possible (for example, red-green red-green). His opponent B does not know the colors or order but has to find out the secret code. To do so, B makes a series of guesses, each evaluated by the first player. A guess consists of an ordered set of colors which B believes is the code. The first player A evaluates the guess and feeds back to B how many positions and colors are correct. A position is correct ("black") if the guess and the secret code have the same color. Additional colors are correct ("white"), if they are in the guess and the code, but not at the same location. For example1 2 3 4secret: red-green red greenguess: red blue green purpleresults in one correct position ("black = 1") for the red peg at position one and one additional correct color ("white=1") for the green peg in the guess.…arrow_forwardMastermind is a code-breaking game for two players.

Monte Carlo simulations are statistical models based on a series of random numbers. Let's consider the problem of estimating Pi by utilizing the Monte Carlo method. Suppose you have a circle inscribed in a square (as in the figure). The experiment simply consists of throwing darts on this figure completely at random (meaning that every point on the dartboard has an equal chance of being hit by the dart). How can we use this experiment to estimate Pi? The answer lies in discovering the relationship between the geometry of the figure and the statistical outcome of throwing the darts. Let's first look at the geometry of the figure. Let's assume the radius of the circle is R, then the Area of the circle = Pi * R^2 and the Area of the square = 4 * R^2. Now if we divide the area of the circle by the area of the square we get Pi / 4. But, how do we estimate Pi by…arrow_forward
- 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.

The problem is to move the stack of rings to another peg. You are allowed to move only one ring at a time, and at no time is a ring to be placed on top of a smaller one. Observe that if the puzzle involved only one ring, it would be extremely easy. Moreover, when faced with the problem of moving several rings, if you could move all but the largest ring to another peg, the largest ring could then be placed on the third peg, and then the problem would be to move the remaining rings on top of it. Using this observation, develop a recursive algorithm for solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle for an arbitrary number of rings.arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. You have w white dominoes (2×1 tiles, the two cells are hued in white) and b dark dominoes (2×1 tiles, the two cells are shaded in dark). You can put a white domino on the board in case both board's cells are white and not involved by some other domino. Similarly, you can put a dark domino if the two cells are dark and not involved by some other domino. Would you be able to put all w+b dominoes on the board if you can put dominoes both on a level plane and in an upward direction? Input The main line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤3000) — the number of experiments. The primary line of each experiment contains three integers n, k1 and k2 (1≤n≤1000; 0≤k1,k2≤n).

- Harry Potter dreams himself in a witchy magic shop, it contains an infinite amount of Golden Snitch. He is allowed to select n Golden Snitch. There are Golden Snitch of k different sizes. From each size there are also infinitely many Golden Snitch. Harry Potter wants to have at least one snitch of each size, but still there are a lot of possibilities for his selection. In his effort to make a decision he wakes up. Now he asks your help to develop a JAVA program to find out how many possibilities for his selection he would have had. Assume that Golden Snitch of equal size can't be distinguished, and the order of the Golden Snitch is irrelevant.

At each turn the mouse can move any number of squares in one of the directions up, down, left or right, but it is not allowed to enter (or jump over) any walls (i.e., the black squares). Thus, the mouse moves just like a rook in chess. To eat a fruit, the mouse has to stop at that square. Assume that the maze has 4 fruits, and the size of b xh squares. 1.
