1. Raj wants to paint a checkered pathway in a park (really really big) with red and green paints. He wants to paint all the squares on the pathway such that it has no rectangle with all the corners in the same color (Let us call them the mono-corner rectangles). The picture on the left shows a correct case and picture on the right shows a failure case i.e. a mono- corner rectangle (since all 4 corners of the rectangle have same color). (a) Prove that it is impossible for Raj to paint all the squares of the pathway without any mono-corner rectangles. (b) Prove that using 3 colors instead of 2 will not help avoid the mono- corner rectangles.

In 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.

There are four people who want to cross a rickety bridge; they all begin on the same side. You have 17 minutes to get them all across to the other side. It is night, and they have one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross the bridge at one time. Any party that crosses, either one or two people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth; it cannot be thrown, for example. Person 1 takes 1 minute to cross the bridge, person 2 takes 2 minutes, person 3 takes 5 minutes, and person 4 takes 10 minutes. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower person's pace. Write the specification of an algorithm that solves the problem.
Q. There is an island that has two kinds of inhabitants, knights, who always tellthe truth, and their opposites, knaves, who always lie. It is assumed that every inhabitant of theisland is either a knight or a knave. Below there are 3 inhabitants, who are denoted by A, B andC.A. What are A, B and C if A says “If B is a knave then C is a knave”, and B says “If Cis a knight then A is a knave”? Briefly explain your reasoning.B. What are A,B and C if A says “B is a knight and C is a knight”, and B says “A is aknight if and only if C is a knave”? Briefly explain your reasoning.
Three 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…
You will be given a square chess board with one queen and a number of obstacles placed on it. Determine how many squares the queen can attack. A queen is standing on an chessboard. The chess board's rows are numbered from to , going from bottom to top. Its columns are numbered from to , going from left to right. Each square is referenced by a tuple, , describing the row, , and column, , where the square is located. The queen is standing at position . In a single move, she can attack any square in any of the eight directions (left, right, up, down, and the four diagonals). In the diagram below, the green circles denote all the cells the queen can attack from : There are obstacles on the chessboard, each preventing the queen from attacking any square beyond it on that path. For example, an obstacle at location in the diagram above prevents the queen from attacking cells , , and : Given the queen's position and the locations of all the obstacles, find and print the number of…
Mastermind is a code-breaking game for two players. In the original real-world game, one player A selects 4 pegs out of 6 colors and puts them in a certain fixed order; multiples of colors are possible (for example, red-green red-green). His opponent B does not know the colors or order but has to find out the secret code. To do so, B makes a series of guesses, each evaluated by the first player. A guess consists of an ordered set of colors which B believes is the code. The first player A evaluates the guess and feeds back to B how many positions and colors are correct. A position is correct ("black") if the guess and the secret code have the same color. Additional colors are correct ("white"), if they are in the guess and the code, but not at the same location. For example1 2 3 4secret: red-green red greenguess: red blue green purpleresults in one correct position ("black = 1") for the red peg at position one and one additional correct color ("white=1") for the green peg in the guess.…
Penalty kicks in soccer. Let's consider a situation where a football player has to faceoff the goalkeeper in a penalty kickoff. Standing infront of the goalpost, the Kicker (player 1) has several angle which he could kick the ball to the goalpost. Let's say he could kick the ball in the Left corner of the goalpost, Right corner of the goalpost or shoot straight through the Center. And, same as the player, the goalkeeper (player 2) also has three options to predict which direction the player would kick the ball and try to stop it. This game can be represented using the following 3 x 3 matrix: Left Center Right 63 37 94 95 Left 100' 100 100' 100 100' 100 100. 6 100' 100 91 9 94 Center 100' 100 100' 100 94 6 93 7 60 40 Right 100' 100 100' 100 100' 100 In the above matrix, the payoff of the kicker is the probability that he scores and the payoff of the goalkeeper is the probability that the kicker doesn't score. We know that the total probability of an event is 1, therefore, all the…
vvvHarry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was playing. Now, the minute hand doesn't rotate by the angle 2π/3600 each second, but now it moves according to different angle x. You can assume that coordinates of the centre of the clock are (0, 0) and the length of the minute hand is l. One endpoint of the minute hand is always located at the clock centre; the other endpoint is initially located at the point (0, l). One second later, Harry observes that this endpoint is at distance d above the x-axis, i.e., the y-coordinate of this endpoint is equal to d. Harry is curious about where the minute hand will be (specifically, its y-coordinate) after t seconds. Because t can be very large, Harry can't wait for that moment. Please help him to write a python code that prints a single line containing the output.Input: 4 2 2Output4Harry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was playing.

You have a fence post located at the point (x,y) where a goat is tethered by a rope. You also have a house, which is a rectangle with diagonally opposite corners at the points bottom-left: (x1,y1) and top-right: (x2,y2). You want to pick a length of rope that guarantees the goat cannot reach the house. Determine the minimum distance from the fence post to the house, so that you can make sure to use a shorter rope. Recall that the distance formula is: sqrt( (x2−x1)^2+(y2−y1)^2 ) The input consists of a single line containing six space-separated integer values: x, y, x1, y1, x2, and y2. You are guaranteed that x1<x2 and y1<y2, and that (x,y) is strictly outside the axis-aligned rectangle with corners at (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Return the minimum distance from the goat’s post to the house as a floating-point value from main(). Learning Objectives Be able to create a program with a lesser template.

Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Michael is blamed for disregarding the social removing rules and making a danger of spreading Covid. He is currently shipped off jail. Fortunately, Michael knows precisely what the jail resembles from within, particularly since it's actual straightforward. The jail can be addressed as a square shape a×b which is separated into stomach muscle cells, each addressing a jail cell, normal sides being the dividers among cells, and sides on the border being the dividers prompting opportunity. Prior to condemning, Michael can ask his companions among the jail representatives to make (all around stowed away) openings in a portion of the dividers (counting dividers among cells and the furthest dividers). Michael needs to have the option to escape the jail after this, regardless of which cell he is set in. Be that as it may, he likewise needs to break as couple of dividers as could be expected.
