In the land of Puzzlevania, Aaron, Bob, and Charlie had an argument over which one of them was the greatest puzzle-solver of all time. To end the argument once and for all, they agreed on a duel to the death. Aaron was a poor shot and only hit his target with a probability of 1/3. Bob was a bit better and hit his target with a probability of 1/2. Charlie was an expert marksman and never missed. A hit means a kill and the person hit drops out of the duel. To compensate for the inequities in their marksmanship skills, the three decided that they would fire in turns, starting with Aaron, followed by Bob, and then by Charlie. The cycle would repeat until there was one man standing. That man would be remembered for all time as the Greatest Puzzle-Solver of All Time. An obvious and reasonable strategy is for each man to shoot at the most accurate shooter still alive, on the grounds that this shooter is the deadliest and has the best chance of hitting back.

An alternate strategy is for Aaron to intentionally miss on his first shot. Modify the program to accommodate this new strategy and output the probability of winning for each contestant. What strategy is better for Aaron, to intentionally miss on the first shot or to try and hit the best shooter?

- The Monty Hall game is a statistical problem: there is a TV show (like the Monty Hall show) that allows contestants to choose between three doors, A, B, and C. Behind one of these doors is a new car (the winning door), and behind the other two are goats (the losing doors). After the contestant makes a choice, the game show host shows a goat behind one of the doors NOT chosen. The contestant is then given a choice to either switch to the other, non-opened door, or stick with their original guess. The interesting part of this “game" is the statistics involved-a person has a 1/3 chance of originally picking a winning door. The other door chosen – actually has a 2/3 chance of being a winning door. Therefore, it is in the contestant's best interest to switch doors. that which is not revealed to have a goat but also was not originally You will create a program that simulates the Monty Hall game, where the computer plays the role of the host.

- Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. The I-th stage is named with an integer artificial intelligence (0≤ai≤n−i). At the point when the character is remaining on the I-th stage, the player can move the character to any of the j-th stages where i+1≤j≤i+ai. If the character is on the I-th stage where ai=0 and i≠n, the player loses the game. Since Gildong thinks the current game isn't adequately hard, he needs to make it considerably harder. He needs to change a few (perhaps zero) names to 0 so that there remains precisely one way of winning. He needs to alter the game as little as could really be expected, so he's requesting you to see as the base number from stages that ought to have their names changed. Two different ways are unique if and provided that there exists a stage the character gets to in one manner however not in the alternate manner. Input Each test contains at least one experiments.

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.

Computer science. Every moment, a battle between two distinct saints happens. These legends can be picked self-assertively (it's even conceivable that it is a similar two saints that were battling during the latest possible second). At the point when two saints of equivalent levels battle, no one successes the battle. At the point when two legends of various levels battle, the one with the more elevated level successes, and his level increments by 1. The champ of the competition is the main saint that successes in no less than 100500 battles (note that it's conceivable that the competition keeps going forever assuming no legend wins this number of battles, there is no victor). A potential champ is a saint to such an extent that there exists an arrangement of battles that this legend turns into the victor of the competition. Compute the number of potential champs among n legends. Input The primary line contains one integer…arrow_forward

Monte Carlo simulations are statistical models based on a series of random numbers. Let's consider the problem of estimating Pi by utilizing the Monte Carlo method. Suppose you have a circle inscribed in a square (as in the figure). The experiment simply consists of throwing darts on this figure completely at random (meaning that every point on the dartboard has an equal chance of being hit by the dart). How can we use this experiment to estimate Pi? The answer lies in discovering the relationship between the geometry of the figure and the statistical outcome of throwing the darts. Let's first look at the geometry of the figure. Let's assume the radius of the circle is R, then the Area of the circle = Pi * R^2 and the Area of the square = 4 * R^2. Now if we divide the area of the circle by the area of the square we get Pi / 4. But, how do we estimate Pi by…arrow_forward
