41. Suppose there are signs on the doors to two rooms. The sign on the first door reads "In this room there is a lady, and in the other one there is a tiger"; and the sign on the second door reads "In one of these rooms, there is a lady, and in one of them there is a tiger." Suppose that you know that one of these signs is true and the other is false. Behind which door is the lady?

The king and the Chees board. A king is so impressed by one of his courtiers thet he offers to give him whatever he desires. The wily courtier replies that all he wants are some grains, as many as could be placed on each square of a chess board. Specially, grains are to be placed on each square of a chess board, as follows. One grain is to be placed in the first square,two in the second square , four in the third square and so on. (We'll assume the squares are big enough to accommodate the increasing numbers of grains they're each expected to hold). Assuming anNxN chess board, WAP that displays the exacy number of grains required to cover an NxN board. Input: integer N , Output:integer P (number of grains)

Three prisoners have been sentenced to long terms in prison, but due to over crowed conditions, one prisoner must be released. The warden devises a scheme to determine which prisoner is to be released. He tells the prisoners that he will blindfold them and then paint a red dot or blue dot on each forehead. After he paints the dots, he will remove the blindfolds, and a prisoner should raise his hand if he sees at least one red dot on the other two prisoners. The first prisoner to identify the color of the dot on his own forehead will be release. Of course, the prisoners agree to this. (What do they have to lose?) The warden blindfolds the prisoners, as promised, and then paints a red dot on the foreheads of all three prisoners. He removes the blindfolds and, since each prisoner sees a red dot (in fact two red dots), each prisoner raises his hand. Some time passes when one of the prisoners exclaims, "I know what color my dot is! It's red!" This prisoner is then released. Your problem…

You visit an island of Knights, Knaves, and Spies. Knights always tell the truth, Knaves always lie, while Spies can say anything (truth or lie). You meet three inhabitants, John, Bill, and Tom. One is a Knight, one is a Knave, and one is a Spy. John says: “I am a knight", Bill says: “John is telling the truth," and Tom says: “I am the spy!". Determine what type of people John, Bill, and Tom are

Required: Amitabh had a magical cat. That cat once fell down an empty well. As the walls of the well were not completely vertical, the cat could climb up the well. In one day, the cat can climb 1 unit height and the height of the well is h units. The cat starts at the bottom. Every day, a cat would divide into 2 cats. One of them would climb up 1 unit. The other would wait for help. But while waiting it would fall asleep and roll down 1 unit, unless it is already at the bottom, in which case it just remains there. When a cat would reach the top, it would run home toAmitabh. (Schrodinger doesn't know that some of the cats are in a well and so he can't rescue them). It has been d days since the cat fell into the well. How many cats would come out of the well today? You would notice that the number of cats grows very large with each passing day, so output the answer modulo 10^9+7. d = 0 means that the cat has fallen just now and so there's just one cat at the bottom of the well. So you…
The Infinite Monkey Theorem states that a monkey hitting keys completely at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will, eventually, type any given text. Even the complete works of William Shakespeare. Some quotes are truly amazing. Consider the famous quote, "BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT" That's 26 amazing characters. Suppose a monkey is seated in front of a KEYBOARD WITH 28 CHARACTERS (one for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet, plus the space bar, and a comma). Suppose the monkey types only 26 characters completely at random. If X is the number of different 26 character strings it could have typed, then the chances that it typed the quote is one divided by X. What is X?
2. In Africa there is a very special species of bee. Every year, the female bees of such species give birth to one male bee, while the male bees give birth to one male bee and one female bee, and then they die! Now scientists have accidentally found one “magical female bee” of such special species to the effect that she is immortal, but still able to give birth once a year as all the other female bees. The scientists would like to know how many bees there will be after N years. Please write a program that helps them find the number of male bees and the total number of all bees after N years. Input Each line of input contains an integer N (≥ 0). Input ends with a case where N = −1. (This case should NOT be processed.) Output Each line of output should have two numbers, the first one being the number of male bees after N years, and the second one being the total number of bees after N years. (The two numbers will not exceed 232.) Sample Input 1 3 -1 Sample Output 1 2 4 7

You will be given a square chess board with one queen and a number of obstacles placed on it. Determine how many squares the queen can attack. A queen is standing on an chessboard. The chess board's rows are numbered from to , going from bottom to top. Its columns are numbered from to , going from left to right. Each square is referenced by a tuple, , describing the row, , and column, , where the square is located. The queen is standing at position . In a single move, she can attack any square in any of the eight directions (left, right, up, down, and the four diagonals). In the diagram below, the green circles denote all the cells the queen can attack from : There are obstacles on the chessboard, each preventing the queen from attacking any square beyond it on that path. For example, an obstacle at location in the diagram above prevents the queen from attacking cells , , and : Given the queen's position and the locations of all the obstacles, find and print the number of…
