- This problem is taken from the delightful book "Problems for Mathematicians, Young and Old" by Paul R. Halmos. Suppose that 931 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament. That means: they pair up, at random, for each round; if the number of players before the round begins is odd, one of them, chosen at random, sits out that round. The winners of each round, and the odd one who sat it out (if there was an odd one), play in the next round, till, finally, there is only one winner, the champion. What is the total number of matches to be played altogether, in all the rounds of the tournament? Your answer: Hint: This is much simpler than you think. When you see the answer you will say "of course".arrow_forwardWhat is the expected reward for the second player in both cases explained?arrow_forwardLet's revisit our first problem, where we want to set up a series of chess matches so we can rank six players in our class. As we did before, we will assume that everyone keeps their chess rating a private secret; however, when two players have a chess match, the person with the higher rating wins 100% of the time. But this time, we are only interested in identifying the BEST of these six players and the WORST of these six players. (We don't care about the relative ordering or ranking of the middle four players.) Your goal is to devise a comparison-based algorithm that is guaranteed to identify the player with the highest rating and the player with the lowest rating. Because you are very strong at Algorithm Design, you know how to do this in the most efficient way. Here are five statements. A. There exists an algorithm to solve this problem using 6 matches, but there does not exist an algorithm using only 5 matches. B. There exists an algorithm to solve this problem using 7 matches,…arrow_forward
- We have n glasses which can hold a varying amount of liquid. We will say that glass1 is size q1 quarts and glass2 is size q2 quarts, etc. We now give you a size, say x quarts. You must give me a glass of exactly x quarts. You are allowed to fill any glass to exactly its size and to pour any liquid from one glass into another. When you pour, you either have to empty the glass you are pouring from or fill the glass you are pouring into. Can you do it?More concrete example: G1 has size 10 quarts. G2 has size 4 quarts. G3 has size 1 quart. You can get a 5 quart drink by filling G1, pouring 4 quarts from it into G2 and 1 quart of it into G1. After that, G1 has exactly 5 quarts. In the same problem, we could get 8 quarts by filling G2 twice and emptying it into G1 twice. Given This: Write an algorithm to do this and determine its complexity.arrow_forwardIn the game of 10-pin bowling the bowler has two attempts to knock down pins for every frame of 10-pins, and scores a point for each pin knocked down. If all the pins are knocked down with two attempts, the bowler gets a bonus - whatever score they obtain with their next bowl is doubled. If all the pins are knocked down on the 1st attempt, no 2nd attempt is allowed, and the bowler gets a bonus – whatever score they obtain on their next two bowls are doubled. A student attempts to capture this scoring system in VHDL code, a fragment of which is shown in Figure Q4. Q4 (a) Draw the state transition diagram described by the VHDL of Figure Q4. Discuss whether the VHDL of Figure Q4 correctly scores a game of 10-pin bowling. (b) elsif CLK='1' and CLK'event and UPD='1' then case present state is when throwl => frame := frame + 1; + resize (unsigned (N), 9) score := score if N = w1010" then present state score := score + resize (unsigned (N), 9) present state + resize (unsigned (N),9) if N =…arrow_forwardImagine there are N teams competing in a tournament, and that each team plays each of the other teams once. If a tournament were to take place, it should be demonstrated (using an example) that every team would lose to at least one other team in the tournament.arrow_forward
