Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 48C
Al says he can prove that all sheep in a flock are the same color:
Base case: One sheep. It is clearly the same color as itself.
Induction step: A flock of n sheep. Take a sheep, a, out. The remaining n − 1 are all the same color by induction. Now put sheep a back in and take out a different sheep, b. By induction, the n − 1 sheep (now with a) are all the same color. Therefore, all the sheep in the flock are the same color. What is wrong with Al’s “justification”?

In chess, a walk for a particular piece is a sequence of legal moves for that piece, starting from a square of your choice, that visits every square of the board. A tour is a walk that visits every square only once. (See Figure 5.13.)
5.13 Prove by induction that there exists a knight’s walk of an n-by-n chessboard for any n ≥ 4. (It turns out that knight’s tours exist for all even n ≥ 6, but you don’t need to prove this fact.)
Let n E N be a natural number with a divisor d E N. If the sum of all of the positive divisors of n is equal to 2n + d, then we call n a near-
perfect number.
For example, if we have n = 12, then the divisors of n are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. Therefore, the sum of the divisors of n is equal to
1+2+3+4+6+12=2*12+4, and 4|12. Hence, 12 is a near-perfect number.
Write a function, near_perfect_number, which accepts any integer n as input, and returns True if n is a near-perfect number, and False
otherwise.
Generate ten random numbers (s1-s10) using the linear congruently generator using the seed (s0) as
5, and with the three parameters a, b, and m as 14, 15, and 21, respectively. (Note: si+1 = (a*si + b) mod
m). SHOW WORK.

Sasha likes exploring diverse mathematical articles, for instance, wizardry squares. However, Sasha comprehends that enchanted squares have as of now been examined by many individuals, so he sees no feeling of concentrating on them further. All things considered, he designed his own kind of square — a superb square. A square of size n×n is called prime if the accompanying three conditions are held all the while: all numbers on the square are non-negative integers not surpassing 105; there are no indivisible numbers in the square; amounts of integers in each line and every segment are indivisible numbers. Sasha has an integer n. He requests you to view as any great square from size n×n. Sasha is certain beyond a shadow of a doubt such squares exist, so help him!

- Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. You are given an arrangement an of length n comprising of integers from 1 to n. The grouping may contain duplicates (for example a few components can be equal). Track down the number of tuples of m=3 components with the end goal that the maximum number in the tuple varies from the base by close to k=2. Formally, you want to view as the number of triples of lists i<j<z with the end goal that max(ai,aj,az)−min(ai,aj,az)≤2. For example, on the off chance that n=4 and a=[1,2,4,3], there are two such triples (i=1,j=2,z=4 and i=2,j=3,z=4). In the event that n=4 and a=[1,1,1,1], all four potential triples are suitable.
