A bunch of people are living on an island, when a visitor comes with a strange order: all blue-eyed people must leave the island as soon as possible. There will be a flight out at 8:00pm every evening. Each person can see everyone else's eye color, but they do not know their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). Additionally, they do not know how many people have blue eyes, although they do know that at least one person does. How many days will it take the blue-eyed people to leave?

A group of individuals are living on an island when a visitor arrives with an unusual order: all blue-eyed people must leave the island immediately. Every evening at 8:00 p.m., a flight will depart. Everyone can see everyone else's eye colour, but no one knows their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). Furthermore, they have no idea how many people have blue eyes, but they do know that at least one person has. How long will it take for the blue-eyed individuals to leave?
In a classroom election, two presidential candidates, namely, Lisa and Teddy, both garnered the same number of total votes. As such, they decided to play a custom dice game to determine the winner of the election. In this game, a player needs to roll a pair of dice. Teddy will win the game if the sum is odd whereas Lisa will be declared winner if the sum results to even. However, prior to the start of the game, Teddy complained that the custom dice game is biased because according to him, the probability of an even result is 6/11, and for odd - only 5/11. Verify Teddy's claim and evaluate the fairness of the game. CLEAR SOLUTION
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?

Please look at attached photos. It needs to pass all of the simulations. Thanks in advance Cryptography is the practice of encryption. Information Security uses cryptography techniques to encrypt and decrypt data. A simple encryption method might take plaintext and mix up the letters using some predetermined pattern and then use that pattern to decrypt the data for reading. Ciphers are the algorithms used to put the data into its secret pattern and then systematically decrypt it for reading. This script is going to use a famous simple cipher called the Caesar Cipher. It is a substitution cipher where each letter in the text is 'shifted' in a certain number of places. It uses the alphabet as the primary pattern and then based on the shift number, it would shift all the letters and replace the alphabet with our pattern. For example, if our shift number was 3, then A would be replaced with D, if we performed a right shift. As an example: Text = "THE CAT IS VISIBLE AT MIDNIGHT" Ciphertext…
Suppose you always eat a particular brand of cookies out of the standard-sized package it comes in from the store, which has 4 rows of cookies in equal amounts. You notice that when you eat 3 at a time, there's always one cookie left over. you decide when you purchase the next package, you'll eat 5 at a time but still, there's always one cookie left over. Since it really isn't helpful to always have a leftover cookie you decide to eat 7 at a time and there are no cookies leftover, but you do notice that in your last grab of 7 cookies, you're one cookie short
The annual snake festival is upon us and all the snakes of the kingdom have gathered to participate in the parade. The chef was tasked with reporting on the parade, so he decided to watch all the snakes first. When he sees the snake first, it will be his head, so he marks the "H". Snakes are long, and when they see the snake finally scurry away, they mark its tail with a "T". In the interim, when the snake is moving around it, or in the time between one snake and the next snake, it marks a '.'. Since the snakes come in a procession and one by one, a valid message would be something like "..H..T...HTH....T.", or "...", or "HT", while "T ...H..H.T", "H..T..H", "H..H..T..T" would be invalid messages (see explanation below). Formally, a snake is represented by an 'H' followed by some (possibly null) '.' and then 'T'. A valid message is one that begins with the (probably zero-length) string '.' and then some (possibly zero) snakes, with some '.'s in between, and finally some (possibly zero)…
A band of thieves comes up with a series of rules for hiding their loot so that they are always able to find it. The rules are as follows: If the house is next to a lake, then the treasure does not go in the kitchen If the tree in the front yard is an elm, then the treasure is in the kitchen The tree in the front yard is an elm or the treasure is buried under the flagpole If the tree in the backyard is an oak then the treasure is in the garage. You observe that the house where the treasure is hidden is next to a lake. Where is the treasure? discrete math
Colours play a vital role in our lives and how we respond to our surroundings. The colours you surround yourself with can influence your perspective and emotions, as well as those around you. In this series a person whose name is Sam has N marks. Each marker has a cap. For each valid i, the ith tag has color ai and initially, for each valid i, the cap colour on the ith mark is also ai. The chef wants to rearrange the caps so that no tag has the same color as the cap. (Obviously, each brand must have exactly one cap.) Can he, do it? If he can, find one such way to rearrange the caps. If there are multiple solutions, you can find any using C++ program. Input 1 5 12234 Output Yes 23412
Description: There are 5 philosophers sitting around a table and try to eat from the center of the table. 5 chopsticks also lay on the table. Let us call the 5 philosophers in clockwise P1, P2, ...P5. There also 5 chopsticks clockwise S1, S2, ..., S5 on the table. There are only one chopstick between every two philosophers. Every right hand chopstick will have the same index as the philosopher. For example, on the right hand side of P1, the chopstick is called S1. And every left hand side chopstick number is 1+number of the philosopher. A philosopher spend random time to think, then he feel hungry and try to eat. The middle dish can provide enough food for everyone at the same time. But a philosopher only can start to eat when he picked up two chopsticks from left hand side and right hand side to form a pair of chopsticks. If a philosopher take one chopsticks, he will try to fight with neighbours to get another one, and never back off to put down the one in his hand. Once the…
There are three (3) poles with blocks of two different colours. The colours are labelled as A and B. There are three (3) blocks for each colour, which make up to a total of six (6) blocks. A block has to always be on a pole. When removing a block from a pole, the top block will be removed first. After the removal, the block must be placed onto another pole and become the top block of the new pole. Each pole can only hold three (3) blocks maximum. The initial arrangement of the pole and blocks are shown in Figure 2. A B A A B B Figure 2: Initial arrangement of blocks on poles You are tasked to find the solution to place the blocks with the same colour onto the same pole with the least number of movement. a) Describe the differences between breadth-first search and uniform- cost search and determine which of them is more suitable to accom- plish the task. State the reason of the selection. b) Using the search algorithm that has been selected in (a) to find the solution. Specify the…
