The Infinite Monkey Theorem states that a monkey hitting keys completely at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will, eventually, type any given text. Even the complete works of William Shakespeare. Some quotes are truly amazing. Consider the famous quote, "BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT" That's 26 amazing characters. Suppose a monkey is seated in front of a KEYBOARD WITH 28 CHARACTERS (one for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet, plus the space bar, and a comma). Suppose the monkey types only 26 characters completely at random. If X is the number of different 26 character strings it could have typed, then the chances that it typed the quote is one divided by X. What is X?

The unary numeral system is a numeral system to represent natural numbers as sequences of ones, that is, to represent a number ?, a symbol representing “1” is repeated ? times. For example, the number 4 is represented by 1111. The number 0 would be represented by the empty string. Create a Turing machine which adds 3 to a natural number, that is, writes three times a 1 after the given unary number. Afterwards move the head to the left-most position of input.
In practical life, the employees get salaries and pay taxes honestly. Sometimes, the process of drawing salariesand payment of taxes may lead to some interesting situation. Suppose, a person draws salary of Rs. 10,000 permonth. A certain percentage of tax is charged on that amount, which is deducted every month. But if the salaryof the person is more than Rs. 10,000 per month, then the tax rate is different. Similarly if a person is getting Rs.20,000 per month, he/she would be charged more under a different tax rate slab. The interesting situationdevelops if there is an anomaly in the tax rates i.e. a person who is getting higher salary takes home lesser moneyas compared to the other person with less gross salary.To further elaborate it, we suppose that there is company 'C' where 100 or less than 100persons are employed. The salaries of the employees and their tax rates are known to us.We are required to list those unlucky persons, who are getting lesser take-home salary(net salary)…
Blackout Math is a math puzzle in which you are given an incorrect arithmetic equation. The goal of the puzzle is to remove two of the digits and/or operators in the equation so that the resulting equation is correct. For example, given the equation 6 - 5 = 15 ^ 4/2 we can remove the digit 5 and the / operator from the right-hand side in order to obtain the correct equality 6 - 5 = 1 ^ 42. Both sides of the equation now equal to 1. Observe how removing an operator between two numbers (4 and 2) causes the digits of the numbers to be concatenated (42). Here is a more complicated example: 288 / 24 x 6 = 18 x 13 x 8 We can remove digits and operators from either side of the equals sign (either both from one side, or one on each side). In this case, we can remove the 2 from the number 24 on the left-hand side and the 1 from the number 13 on the right-hand side to obtain the correct equality 288 / 4 x 6 = 18 x 3 x 8 Both sides of the equation now equal to 432.

A perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of its positive divisors excluding the number itself. Equivalently, a perfect number is a number that is half the sum of all of its positive divisors. The first perfect number is 6, because 1, 2 and 3 are its proper positive divisors, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Equivalently, the number 6 is equal to half the sum of all its positive divisors: (1 + 2 + 3 + 6) / 2 = 6. Write a program to display the of sum all perfect numbers found in the first 1000 integers.
A robot is placed at the origin of a 2D coordinate plane (i.e. position (0, 0)). The robot is given a string Scontaining N characters in {N, E, S, W} as its instructions. For each character from the beginning of the string,the robot has to move 1 unit to the following direction:• If the character is N, the robot has to move 1 unit to the positive y-axis direction.• If the character is E, the robot has to move 1 unit to the positive x-axis direction.• If the character is S, the robot has to move 1 unit to the negative y-axis direction.• If the character is W, the robot has to move 1 unit to the negative x-axis direction.You do not know the string S. However, you know another string P that is an anagram of S (i.e. P has thesame number of N, E, S, W characters as S). You also have M data points: T1...M, X1...M, and Y1...M. For alli, you know that the robot is at position (Xi, Yi) after moving exactly Ti units.You want to know the number of possible string S that satisfies all the…
create a 2 tape Turing machine (use JFLAP) that has on tape 1 the alphabet of a,b,null, on tape 2 the alphabet is 0,1,2,3, null. Tape 1 has initial content of (a+b)*, Tape 2 has initial content of (0+1)* Begin by processing tape 1, if the substring aa is found on tape 1, search tape 2 for the first 00 substring and replace it with 22 if the substring bb is found on tape 1, search tape 2 for the first 11 substring and replace it with 33. If at anytime aa does not have a matching 00 reject if at anytime bb does not have a matching 11 reject else accept after all of tape 1 has been processed.

Write a program to calculate the surface area and volume of a square pyramid. A square pyramid has a base that is square and all triangle faces are congruent isosceles triangles. (An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two of the sides are equal. Length of the base: a Height of the pyramid: h Volume = a2h/3 Slant height, s = sqrt(h2 + (a/2)2) This is the Pythagorean Theorem part. Area of one pyramid side = s*a/2 Test Case #1 Height(h): 5.0’ Base(a): 2.5’
A robot starts on a point marked “A” on a rectangular grid of points. The starting point is always the top left point on the grid. The robot can move left, right, up or down, moving from one point to the next. By moving in steps going left, right, up or down, the robot would like to reach a point marked “B”, which is always the bottom right point in the grid. Sometimes, points are marked as “x”, and the robot is not allowed to visit them at all. A robot is never allowed to visit a point more than once. In how many ways can the robot move from A to B and visit all points along the way? For example, in the following grid, represented in text as A . . . . B there is only one path from A to B: In the following grid, represented in text as A . . x x B there is still only one path (we're lucky because of the two x's): However, in the grid A . . . x B there are no ways for the robot to move from A to B and visit all points that are not marked with “x”. Write a single…
