Way too many CP pots in my warehouse so I want to give them to someone, but who?
First quest: 10th grade mathematics
Reward 100 GCP pots
Assuming a=b
multiply by a
a2=ab deduct b2 from it
a2-b2=ab-b2 break this apart
(a-b)(a+b)=b(a-b) simplify by (a-b)
a+b=b, where as a=b
b+b=b
2b=b
2=1 Oh really?
Second Quest: The deadly choice
Reward 200 GCP pots
You have 1000 bottles of water, but 1 of them is poisoned. There are 10 of your clannies willing to help you find out which one is poisonous. The trick is that the poison takes 2 days to be noticed and your clan is dying of thirst. Any of the helpers can taste as many bottles as needed in 1 day.
You have to find out as quick as possible which one is poisoned and try not to kill all the helpers while doing this.
Find the solution with the lowest time and the lowest casualties. |

But you still did not find wich one is the poisonous one. You just isolated it in a smaller group. Please try again. |

You are rigth, but I specially enjoyed the part of FSE dieing 
BTW: you said "try not to kill all the helpers" so let one helper apart and make the other ones drink one by one the bottles... no? O.o at least 1 helper will remain alive |

Ok,
most simple case
10 botles 10 ppl each drinks one, papaaam the bottle
Next case
100 botles 10 ppl arange the bottles in a 10x10 matrix.
1st posibility
Day 1
Person 1 tastes from row 1
Person 2 tastes from row 2
....
Day 2
Person 1 tastes coulmn 1
Person 2 tastes coulmn 2
.....
Day 3
Person X dies, row discovered
Day 4
Nobody else dies bottle was in row x column X
Person Y dies bottle was in row x column y
2nd posibility
Day 1
Person 1 drinks from column 1 and row 1
Person 2 drinks from column 2 and row 2
.....
Day2
Person 1 drinks from column 2 and row 2
Person 2 drinks from column 3 and row 3
....
Person 10 drinks from column 1 and row 1
Day 3
Only person X dies bottle was in row x column x
Person X and Y die bottle is in two possible positions XY or YX
Day 4
Person Z dies identifiyng the true position of the bottle.
Now can you make up the correct algorithm for 1000 bottles 10 ppl?
1st posibility 5 days 3 deaths (minimum of sum(deaths, days))
2nd posibility 4 days 5 deaths ( minimum in days)
No programmers in this clan it seems. |
