KABULIWALA'S TREASURE
After a day fi lled with adventures in Tehran, you now reach Kandahar. You realize that you are falling short of time and should reach Kabul as early as possible but the problem is that you have lost your map and you can’t see anybody nearby. So, you don’t know where to head towards. You suddenly see a Kabuliwala, whom you ask for help.
He says, he will show you the way to Kabul only if you help him get his treasure. Then he takes you to a place which looks similar to a grid, which has some rocks, a xed metal ball gun and
a treasure box at the other end which can be opened only when the metal ball hits the 3 buttons. Now
help the Kabuliwala arrange those blocks in order to open the treasure box.
INSTRUCTIONS:-
1. The initial direction of ball cannot be changed. The metal ball once released only travels in straight lines unless and until it hits a rock.
2. Rocks re ect the ball when it hits them.
The place where you go looks something like the above figure. For the arrangement shown in the figure, the metal ball could only hit one button. Make appropriate shifts in the positions of rocks so that the ball can hit all the three buttons.
Question 17:
What is the sum of all the positions that have rock (including fi xed) on them?
(Two digit integer type)
After the kabuliwala leaves, you find another similar grid. Solve this one to have a treasure for yourself :-
WORMHOLE ROCK :- Acts as a teleport for the ball. How it exactly works is shown in the below 2 figures.
Question 18:
What is the sum of all the positions that have rock (including wormholes) on them?
(Two digit integer type)
Please post the solution to this question. The solution, not the answer. It doesn't seem to make sense.
ReplyDeleteHi, giving out solutions directly won't help either of us :) . We would instead like to discuss the questions with you guys. So, go ahead post your solutions. We would love to read your perspective about our questions :D .
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the only question that I haven't solved as of now. The question doesn't really make sense. I don't have a configuration that doesn't require me to
ReplyDelete1. Use 8 blocks.
2. Move the 7th block around.
Both of these are not allowed. I can't really find an answer to this question. Maybe lead me in the right direction?
I am getting the pattern of the 17th question but there is a need to move the 7th block also..... 😕
ReplyDeleteI was getting the answer - 8+2+11+18+12+17+9=77 this is also correct.
ReplyDeleteoh ok i found my mistake.
Deletei know its too late......... but the question was not clearly visible. The teleporting points were not at all visible . That is the reason that i was not able to do this.
