In a recent court case, a judge cited a city for contempt and ordered a fine of $2 for
the first day. Each subsequent day, until the city followed the judge's order, the fine
was squared (i.e., the fine progressed as follows: $2, $4, $16, $256, $65,536, .).
a, What would be the fine on day N?
b. How many days would it take for the fine to reach D dollars (a Big-Oh answer
will do)?

On an island, a group of people are living until a visitor arrives with an odd directive: everyone with blue eyes must leave the island as quickly as possible. Every evening, a flight will depart at 8:00. Everyone can see the colour of everyone else's eyes, but they are blind to their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). They also do not know the number of persons who have blue eyes, but they do know that at least one person has them. How long will it take the folks with blue eyes to leave?
A certain cat shelter has devised a novel way of making prospective adopters choose
their new pet. To remove pet owners’ biases regarding breed, age, or looks, they are
led blindfolded into a room containing all the cats up for adoption and must bring
home whichever they pick up. Suppose you are trying to adopt two cats, and the
shelter contains a total of N cats in one of only two colors: black or orange. is it still possible to pick up two black
cats with probability ½, given that there is an even number of orange cats in the
room? If so, how many cats should be in the room? How many black, how many
orange?

- Every patient has a primary physician. Every doctor has at least one patient. Each pharmacy sells several drugs and has a price for each. A drug could be sold at several pharmacies, and the price could vary from one pharmacy to another. Doctors prescribe drugs for patients. A doctor could prescribe one or more drugs for several patients, and a patient could obtain prescriptions from several doctors. Each prescription has a date and a quantity associated with it. You can assume that, if a doctor prescribes the same drug for the same patient more than once, only the last such prescription needs to be stored. Pharmaceutical companies have long-term contracts with pharmacies. A pharmaceutical company can contract with several pharmacies, and a pharmacy can contract with several pharmaceutical companies. For each contract, you have to store a start date, an end date, and the text of the contract. Pharmacies appoint a supervisor for each contract. There must always be a supervisor for each…arrow_forwardImagine there are N teams competing in a tournament, and that each team plays each of the other teams once.

Each passenger is assigned to a seat equal to his or her own number. However, the first passenger disregards instructions and instead of sitting in seat number 1, chooses and sits down in a randomly chosen seat. Each subsequent passenger acts according to the following scheme: if their assigned seat is available, they will sit there; otherwise, they will pick at random from the remaining available seats and sit there. What is the probability that the 1512th passenger ends up sitting in their assigned seat? A. 1/2016 B. 1/2 C. 5/8 D. 3/4 E. None of the abovearrow_forward

Whenever a person calls another person in the group, they exchange all the information they know at the time of calling. Design a sequence of calls (specifying the persons involved in each call) that they have to make in order to ensure that everyone knows all the information. How many calls are there in your scheme?arrow_forwardFor (∃ x)(P(x,b)) Would an example of this being true if the domain was all the Avengers and x was green skin, then "b" being the Hulk would make this true.

- Suppose a business person launches new cinema at Islamabad and ask his team to develop a ticket system for box office. He assigns some requirements about system that how should it work. The requirements are such a way that there are only '5' number of box office windows in the theatre. Each window can have at max '20' number of people waiting in line. To start with, only one window is opened. If the number of people waiting in line in that window exceeds 20, then the next window is opened and people can join the line in that window. Likewise, if both the first and second windows have n number of people waiting in each queue, then a third window is opened. This can go on until the maximum number of windows w is reached. Let us assume that once a window is opened it never closes. A new window is only opened if all open windows are full. Each person can buy only one ticket. So, the system should not allot more than one ticket per person. Let us assume that the system issues one ticket…arrow_forwardThree 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…arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. You are provided a program with that comprises of n directions. At first a solitary variable x is doled out to 0. A while later, the guidelines are of two kinds: increment x by 1; decline x by 1. You are given m inquiries of the accompanying organization: question l r — what number of particular qualities is x appointed to if every one of the directions between the l-th one and the r-th one comprehensive are disregarded and the rest are executed without changing the request? Input The primary line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of testcases. Then, at that point, the depiction of t testcases follows. The main line of each testcase contains two integers n and m (1≤n,m≤2⋅105) — the number of directions in the program and the number of questions.

- Computer science. Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. There are n rockers, numbered from 1 to n from left to right. A few easy chairs are involved by individuals (at most one individual for each rocker), others are not. The number of involved rockers isn't more noteworthy than n2. For reasons unknown, you might want to advise individuals to move from their rockers to some different ones. In the event that the I-th easy chair is involved by somebody and the j-th rocker isn't, you can perceive the individual sitting in the I-th rocker to move to the j-th rocker. The time it takes an individual to move from the I-th rocker to the j-th one is |i−j| minutes. You might play out this activity quite a few times, however these tasks should be done consecutively, i. e. you can't see an individual to move until the individual you requested to move in the last activity has completed the process of moving to their objective easy chair. You need to accomplish the accompanying…arrow_forwardA detective has interviewed four witnesses to a crime. From the stories of the witnesses the detective has concluded that: If the handyman is lying, then so is the butler. The gardener and the handyman cannot both be telling the truth. The cook and the gardener are not both lying. The handyman is telling the truth only if the cook is lying. For each of the four witnesses, can the detective determine whether that person is telling the truth or lying? Use the truth table to explain your reasoning (Give the full truth table). Please use the following notations in your reasoning – B: The butler is telling the truth. C: The cooking is telling the truth. G: The gardener is telling the truth.
