Question
- In a classroom election, two presidential candidates, namely, Lisa and Teddy, both garnered the same number of total votes. As such, they decided to play a custom dice game to determine the winner of the election. In this game, a player needs to roll a pair of dice. Teddy will win the game if the sum is odd whereas Lisa will be declared winner if the sum results to even. However, prior to the start of the game, Teddy complained that the custom dice game is biased because according to him, the probability of an even result is 6/11, and for odd - only 5/11. Verify Teddy's claim and evaluate the fairness of the game.

- The goal of Snake is to create a snake as long as possible. This is achieved by guiding the snake to an apple on the game board. The snake cannot stop moving, and dies whenever it hits something (excluding apples). Because the snake is growing longer and longer as the game progresses, it gets increasingly difficult to avoid collisions with the snake itself. The player can change the direction of the head of the snake by using the arrow keys. At step in the game, there is always an apple somewhere on the board. If the snake eats an apple, the snake becomes one cell longer. A new apple is placed on a random location, excluding all places covered by the snake. When the snake reaches a side of the game board, it re-emerges at the opposite end.arrow_forwardI'm working on a program for computer science and I need help figuring something out. The program I'm making is going to make a simple game with a user controlled car that can move across the screen. As it moves across the screen two other cars have a chance of moving into the screen that the user car has to avoid. I'm trying figure out how to add the other two cars so that they appear on the right side of the Jframe and so that they don't both appear at the same time and take up both lanes. How would I do that? In java please and let me know if you need more informationarrow_forward1. Tentaizu is a classic Japanese game that translates to “celestial map” or “starchart.” These bare some similarities to minesweeper; however, it is quite farfrom it.2. The game consists of a 7x7 board of which 10 of those 49 slots are “stars”. Theobjective of the game is to determine the position of these stars. To help withidentifying the correct position, some slots contain hints in the form of numbers.These hints work like the number hints in minesweeper in the sense that itidentifies how many stars are adjacent to the slot. The range of values are from0 (no stars) to 8 (fully surrounded by stars). A Tentaizu puzzle contains only thesenumber hints. Much like other puzzle games like sudoku, there is only onecombination of star positions that is described by the puzzle.3. Your task is to create a solver function for a given Tentaizu puzzle. This functionshould be able to recursively solve the puzzle. Define a function “solve” with theinput variable being a 7x7 list representing the…arrow_forward
- It is given twelve balls of identical weight with the exception of one that is either heavier or lighter. Additionally, it is equipped with a dual-pan balance. Utilization of the balance in each instance You may place any number of the 12 balls on the left pan and the same number on the right pan, and then press a button to begin weighing; there are three potential outcomes: the weights are equal, the balls on the left are heavier, or the balls on the left are lighter. Create a technique for determining which ball is the odd one out and whether it is heavier or lighter than the others using the balance in the fewest feasible instances. Solve the issue of weighing 39 balls, one of which is known to be odd.arrow_forwardComputers represent color by combining the sub-colors red, green, and blue (rgb). Each sub-color's value can range from 0 to 255. Thus (255, 0, 0) is bright red, (130, 0, 130) is a medium purple, (0, 0, 0) is black, (255, 255, 255) is white, and (40, 40, 40) is a dark gray. (130, 50, 130) is a faded purple, due to the (50, 50, 50) gray part. (In other words, equal amounts of red, green, blue yield gray). Given values for red, green, and blue, remove the gray part. Ex: If the input is: 130 50 130 the output is: 80 0 80 Find the smallest value, and then subtract it from all three values, thus removing the gray. Note: This page converts rgb values into colors.

The cardsare shuffled and placed face down on a table. The players then take turns and select two cards at a time.If both cards match, they are left face up; otherwise, the cards are placed face down at the same positions.Once the players see the selected pair of cards and if the cards do not match, then they can memorize thecards and use their memory to select the next pair of cards. The game continues until all the cards areface up. Write a program to play the memory game. Use a two-dimensional array of 4 rows and 4 columnsfor a deck of 16 cards with 8 matching pairs. You can use numbers 1 to 8 to mark the cards. (If you use a6 by 6 array, then you will need 18 matching pairs, and so on.) Use random number generators torandomly store the pairs in the array. Use appropriate functions in your program, and the main programshould be merely a call to functions. I need to figure out how to do…arrow_forward
- In this game, one flyand three frogs are placed randomly on a board with the size 7x7.In each iteration, they move randomlywithin the board, and the simulation stops when one of the frogs eats the fly.Fly and frogs are essentially creatures that can move, make noise, and eat. Frogs can move up to 2squares in any direction, and flies can move up to 1. Frogs make the "Croak! Croak!" sound, and fliesmake "ZzzZZz!". Since frogs should not eat their kind, a function of "isEatable" should also beimplemented in decision making. A variable or function to check if the fly is alive is also required as aterminate condition for simulation.In each iteration, an 'f' character represents frogs' position on board, and an '*' character is used torepresent the position of fly. Java Language I dont want the survival game that answer of my last two questions I want the above question and example output like in the photosarrow_forwardA company is going to provide their employee with a bonus which will be based on the length of their service in the company. The bonus calculation will be zero if they have been with the company less than 2 years, 10% of their salary for more than two but less than five years and 25% for five to ten years, 35% for ten years or more. The user interface will not allow a negative value for inputs, but it will allow a zero to be input. How many equivalence partitions are needed to test the calculation of the bonus? A. Four equivalence partitions B. Five equivalence partitions C. Two equivalence partitions D. Three equivalence partitionsarrow_forwardMake a MAZE game on Spyder, giving the user to choose their route. Each route will have either doors or obstacles that the user will solve or use logic to complete. Use a random function so the obstacles change with a new try. The user needs to get out of the Maze in three tries or he loses a life. The user will be asked a question whether they want to try it again or skip the level. Need help with the code!!

The power surge raced through her computer, causing it to emit a strange glow. A strange new program appeared on her computer called "psychic". Dionne told all her friends that this program was capable of predicting the future. If they wanted to use the program, for a small fee, they could download it from her web site.Objective - To write a program that will predict the future Method - 1. Use the main procedure toa.
