Tiling: The precondition to the problem is that you are given threeintegers n, i, j, where i and j are in the range 1 to 2n. You have a 2n by 2n squareboard of squares. You have a sufficient number of tiles each with the shape . Your goalis to place nonoverlapping tiles on the board to cover each of the 2n × 2n tiles except forthe single square at location i, j. Give a recursive algorithm for this problem in whichyou place one tile yourself and then have four friends help you. What is your base case?
Python Please. An interesting puzzler for chess buffs is the Knight’s Tour problem, originally proposed by the mathematician Euler. Can the knight piece move around an empty chessboard and touch each of the 64 squares once and only once? We study this intriguing problem in depth here. The knight makes only L-shaped moves (two spaces in one direction and one space in a perpendicular direction). Thus, as shown in the figure below, from a square near the middle of an empty chessboard, the knight (labeled K) can make eight different moves (numbered 0 through 7). A: Draw an eight-by-eight chessboard on a sheet of paper, and attempt a Knight’s Tour by hand. Put a 1 in the starting square, a 2 in the second square, a 3 in the third, and so on. Before starting the tour, estimate how far you think you’ll get, remembering that a full tour consists of 64 moves. How far did you get? Was this close to your estimate? B: Now let’s develop a script that will move the knight around a chessboard…

- Artificial intelligence (Question - 6) ======================= One variation on the game of nim is described in Luger. The game begins with a single pile of stones. The move by a player consists of dividing a pile into two piles that contain an unequal number of stones. For example, if one pile contains six stones, it could be subdivided into piles of five and one, or four and two, but not three and three. The first player who cannot make a move loses the game.(6.1) Draw the complete game tree for this version of Nim if the start state consists of six stones.(6.2) Perform a minimax evaluation for this game.

The story has it, that the ruler of the area was so enchanted with the game, that he called the inventor to his palace, and asked him to name a gift. The seemingly humble man asked the ruler to put a grain of rice on the first square of the chessboard, two grains of rice on the second and so on, doubling the grains each time until all 64 squares of the chessboard were filled. The ruler was thinking about a full sack of rice and happily agreed. I didn't count it myself, but there are 32,000,000 grains of rice in a short ton (2,000 lbs). So do the calculation in Python and make a modern day comparison. Assume that a 50 foot rail car can carry 50 tons of rice. Write a program that would calculate how long the train would have be to carry the inventor's request? First Calculation: How many grain of rice? Second Calculation: How many tons of rice? Third Calculation: How many train car will be needed?

We start with N discs of varying sizes on a peg (stacked in order according to size), and two empty pegs. We are allowed to move a disc from one peg to another, but we are never allowed to move a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. The goal is to move all the discs to the rightmost peg (see figure). To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk. (1) Propose a state representation for the problem?arrow_forward

He went to London to study where he finds it very interesting to calculate number of ways of going to point (c, d) from point (a, b) in co-ordinate plane. We can take horizontal and vertical steps only and cannot visit at a point twice. In a step, you can move one unit only. We have to reach to the point (c, d) from the point (a, b) using abs(a-c) + abs(b-d) steps only. Shaker has two sets of points. Set A contains points having X co- ordinate 0 and Y co-ordinates varying from 1 to N (both inclusive). Set B contains points having X co-ordinate K and Y co-ordinates varying from 1 to N (both inclusive). Both sets contain N number of integral points. He wants to calculate the sum of number of ways to going to each point of set B from each point of set A.

- Do you reach many, do you reach one? def knight_jump(knight, start, end): An ordinary chess knight on a two-dimensional board of squares can make an “L-move” into up to eight possible neighbours. However, we can generalize the entire chessboard into k dimensions from just the puny two. A natural extension of the knight's move to keep moves symmetric with respect to these dimensions is to define the possible moves as some k-tuple of strictly decreasing nonnegative integer offsets. Each one of these k offsets must be used for exactly one dimension of your choice during the move, either as a positive or a negative version.For example, the three-dimensional (4,3,1)-knight makes its way by first moving four steps along any one of the three dimensions, then three steps along any other dimension, and then one step along the remaining dimension, whichever dimensions that was. These steps are considered to be performed together as a single jump that does not visit or is blocked by any of the…arrow_forwardIdiot’s Delight is a fairly simple game of solitaire, yet it is difficult to win. The goal is to draw all of the cards from the deck, and end up with no cards left in your hand. You will run through the deck of cards one time. Start by dealing 4 cards to your hand. You will always look at the last 4 cards in your hand. If the ranks of the “outer” pair (1st and 4th) are the same, discard all four cards. Otherwise, if the suits of the “inner” pair (2nd and 3rd) are the same, discard those 2 cards only. If you have less than 4 cards, draw enough to have 4 cards in your hand. If the deck is empty, the game is over. Your score will be the number of cards that remain in your hand. Like in golf, the lower the score the better. Create a new Python module in a file named “idiots_delight.py”. Add a function called deal_hand that creates a standard deck of cards, deals out a single hand of 4 cards and returns both the hand and the deck.

For each digit between 1 to 9, there is one card with that digit on it. Alice and Bob each draw two cards after shuffling the cards, and see the digits on their own cards without revealing the digits to each other. Then Alice gives her two cards to Bob. Bob sees the digits on Alice’s cards and lays all the four cards on the table in increasing order by the digits. Cards are laid facing down. Bob tells Alice the positions of her two cards. The goal of Alice is to guess the digits on Bob’s two cards. Can Alice uniquely determine these two digits and guess them correctly?
