Question
- A band of thieves comes up with a series of rules for hiding their loot so that they are always able to find it. The rules are as follows:
- If the house is next to a lake, then the treasure does not go in the kitchen
- If the tree in the front yard is an elm, then the treasure is in the kitchen
- The tree in the front yard is an elm or the treasure is buried under the flagpole
- If the tree in the backyard is an oak then the treasure is in the garage.
You observe that the house where the treasure is hidden is next to a lake. Where is the treasure?

- A computer science professor has bought his two children a box of raisin cookies for thanksgiving. The number of raisins in the cookies is not evenly distributed and each cookie can have as many raisins in it. The children love raisins very much and when they open the box they fight over having as many raisins possible. They do not care about the number of cookies they have but rather the total number of raisins they collected. They are not happy with what they have collected, because each of them thinks the other one has more raisins. So they come back to their father for help. The professor comes up with a dynamic programming algorithm to find whether it is possible to, without breaking any cookie, assign all of them to his children where each gets an equal number of raisins. As mentioned it is not important if one of them gets more cookies. The total number of raisins is T and the total number of cookies is n. Write down a dynamic programming algorithm with O(nT) time complexity…arrow_forwardAssignment As an initiation into the study of ethics, carefully read each of the following scenarios. After reflection, come up with your own answer to each of the questions. Scenario 1 Alexis, a gifted high school student, wants to become a doctor. Because she comes from a poor family, she will need a scholarship in order to attend college. Some of her classes require students to do extra research projects in order to get an A. Her high school has a few older PCs, but there are always long lines of students waiting to use them during the school day. After school, she usually works at a part-time job to help support her family. One evening Alexis visits the library of a private college a few miles from her family's apartment, and she finds plenty of unused PCs connected to the Internet. She surreptitiously looks over the shoulder of another student to learn a valid login/password combination. Alexis returns to the library several times a week, and by using its PCs and printers she…arrow_forwardA hardware store is selling steel rods of various lengths. However, customers sometimes want to buy rods that the store doesn't carry. For example, if the store only carries 10cm and 30cm rods and a customer wants to buy a 25cm rod, then the order cannot be fulfilled. To boost sales, the store has come up with an idea to weld two rods together to make a longer rod. For example, if the store only carries 3cm and 5cm rods and a customer wants to buy a 8cm rod, then the order can be fulfilled by welding together 3-cm and 5-cm rods. Since rod welding can compromise the strength, the store will only weld up to TWO rods together. More precisely, this means, an order for x cm can be fulfilled if there is a single rod of length x or there are two rods (potentially of the same length) whose combined length is x. Your Task: Write a function process Orders (orders: List[int], sizes:List[int]) -> List[bool] to determine whether or not each of the given orders can be fulfilled. Here, orders is a…arrow_forward
- cryptologyarrow_forwardsolve using paython language and take screenshot contains the codearrow_forward3. A safe is locked by a combination of of four binary digits (that is, 0 or 1), but the owner has forgotten the combination. The safe is designed in such a way that no matter how many digits have been pressed, if the correct combination of three digits is pressed at any point, then the safe automatically opens (there is no "enter" key). Our goal is to find the minimum number of digits that one needs to key in in order to guarantee that the safe opens. In other words, we wish to find the smallest possible length of a binary sequence containing every four-digit sequence in it. (a) Create a digraph whose vertex set consists of three-digit binary sequences. From each vertex labelled ryz, there is one outgoing edge (labelled 0) leading to vertex yz0, and another outgoing edge (labelled 1) leading to vertex yz1. (b) Explain why every edge represents a four digit sequence and why an Eulerian tour of this graph represents the desired sequence of keystrokes. (c) Find the minimum number of…arrow_forward
- Devon designs a computer algorithm that gives users a movie recommendation based on information entered into a viewer profile. Users are asked to rate the recommendation as either "good" or "bad." After testing the algorithm, Devon concludes that the algorithm offers good movie recommendations in 87% of all cases, with a 3% margin of error. Devon expects the algorithm to offer approximately 5,000 movie recommendations this month, and he wants to calculate the number of recommendations that are expected to be "good." What would the likely range of "good" recommendations be? A. 1,400 to 4,550 good recommendations B. 4,100 to 4,550 good recommendations C.4,200 to 4,500 good recommendations D. 4,285 to 4,459 good recommendationsarrow_forwardA 0/1 knapsack can carry a maximum weight of 60. There are 4 items with weights {20, 30, 40, 70} and values {70, 80, 90, 200}. What is the maximum value of the items you can carry using the knapsack?arrow_forwardSuppose you have a knapsack that can carry up to 17 pounds. You can only put certain items, and each item has a weight and a value. You want to put the items that will give you the highest possible value, but you can only carry up to 15 pounds. Here are the items you can put and their weights and values: I Weight value Value/Weight 1 2 10 5 2 4 30 7.5 3 6 50 8.33 4 9 70 7.78 5 10 80 8 Table 1: Caption Your task is to solve the Knapsack Problem using a greedy approach.Hints:- Sort the items by their value-to-weight ratio in descending order. Start with the item with the highest value-to-weight ratio and add it to the knapsack. - Continue adding items to the knapsack in descending order of their value-to-weight ratio until the knapsack is full or there are no more items left. - Your solution should output the total value of the items in the knapsack and the list of items that you have put. -This…arrow_forward
- Write a program using Python to solve the locker riddle which reads as follows: Imagine 100 lockers numbered 1 to 100 with 100 students lined up in front of those 100lockers:The first student opens every locker.The second student closes every 2nd locker.The 3rd student changes every 3rd locker; if it’s closed, she opens it; if it’s open, she closes it.The 4th student changes every fourth locker (e.g., 4th, 8th, etc.).The 5th student changes every 5th locker (e.g., 5th, 10th, etc.).That same pattern continues for all 100 students. Which lockers are left open after all 100 students have walked the rowof lockers?arrow_forwardThe game is played in the magic maze, as shown below. The squares are flaming lava pools. If you try to cross them you will die. The grid lines are passageways and are safe to travel in. You can start at any location on the grid but must travel in the passageways. You may travel as far as you want in any direction, but once you turn, you must repeat that distance and you may only make left turns. You may not reverse direction inside the tight passageways. You must end up at the same spot you started at. If you successful, then you gain a magic coin, which automatically appears. You can start over again and again in a different or same starting spot and earn new magic coins, but the routes you take must differ somehow for each magic coin. That is, no magic coins for the exact same route as previously done. If the route varies in any way (perhaps it is the same starting location and ending location as a previous route, but longer), it will earn a new magic coin. Mad Madame Mim has…arrow_forwardCrossover and Mutation The two main operations in evolutionary computing are crossover and mutation. Crossover works like this: Randomly choose two parents from the population. Let’s say these: Parent 1: T F T F T T F Parent 2: T T T F F T T Those two parents will create a child whose DNA is related to the parents’. It works like this: for each of the seven genes in the chromosome, we will randomly pick a number between 1 and 10 and use it to choose which parents’ value the child will get. If the random number is 1 through 5, we will use Parent 1’s included value for the child; if it is 6…arrow_forward
