Career Development Project 2 Introduction to Digital Technology

Carter Spring Semester

Description of Assignment

1. As students begin learning about problem solving and algorithms, they will use a brainteaser website to create a PowerPoint with two problems to be solved. After solving the teaser for themselves, they will prepare a presentation to explain what process they used to solve the problem.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Problem Solving, Algorithms, and Game Development Unit

Mrs. Carter – Room 4108

Directions: Read the scenario below and use the chart to decipher Where Does Everyone Live?

Alex, Bret, Chris, Derek, Eddie, Fred, Greg, Harold, and Juan are nine students who live in a three story building, with three rooms on each floor. There is a room in the West Wing, one in the center, and one in the East Wing. If you look directly at the building, the left side is West and right side is East. Each student is assigned exactly one room. Can you find where each of their rooms are?

1. Harold does not live on the bottom floor.

2. Fred lives directly above John and directly next to Bret (who lives in the West wing).

3. Eddie lives in the East wing and one floor higher than Fred.

4. Derek lives directly above Fred.

5. Greg lives directly above Chris.

CENTER

EAST

Directions: Visit the following website to practice with more brain teasers. Use the directions below to create a short presentation for the class.

1. Visit the following website: http://www.brainbashers.com/logic.asp 2. Choose two games of logic which should be different than the games chosen by your classmates. Once you choose your games, write the names on the board.

3. Play the games and apply the problem solving technique(s) of your choice. In a PowerPoint Presentation you will identify the two games you chose. Use the PrintScreen button to capture an image of the game. Insert this image into the PowerPoint Presentation.

4. Let the class try to solve one of the games before giving the answer.

5. For each game explain the process you used to win each game or solve each puzzle.

FIRST STEPS: 

Question 1 can't be A, as this would mean that Q1 was the first question with B as the answer and therefore it tells on itself.



Q1 can't be B as this would mean Q4 was the first question with B as the answer, but Q1 would apparently be the first question with B as the answer.



If we test Q1 as having answer C, you'll see that Q3 points back to Q1 correctly and is logically correct.



If we test Q1 as having answer D, then Q2's answer is B, which points to Q4's answer being A, which means that there are 3 questions with D as the answer. Which would mean that Q3 and Q5 were both D, but Q3 would have to be A, as we're seeing that Q1 is D.



Therefore Q1 has answer C. Since Q1 has answer C, we know Q3 has answer B.

SECOND STEPS: 

Looking at Q4 (how many questions can have D as the answer), clearly it can't be D (zero), as this would tell on itself. It can't be A (three) as we only have 2 questions without an answer.



If Q4 was B, then the remaining questions (Q2 and Q5) would both be D, which would make Q2 point to Q4 having C as an answer, which makes our guess of Q4 being B.



So Q4 must be C.



Which means that Q2 has answer D.



Which means that Q5 has answer B (as no other choice is allowed and we must have two questions with answer B).

If Q1's answer was A, this tells that Q2's answer is B, which tells Q3's is D, which tells Q4's answer is B, which tells us Q1's answer is C. If Q1's answer was B, this tells that Q2's answer is A, which tells us Q3's is C, which tells us Q4's answer is C, which tells us Q1's answer is A..

ď ľ

If Q1's answer was C, this tells that Q2's answer is D, which tells Q3's is A, which tells us Q4's answer is D, which tells us Q1's answer is B..

ď ľ

If Q1's answer was D, this tells that Q2's answer is C, which tells Q3's is B, which tells us Q4's answer is A, which tells Q1's answer is D. Which is correct, and therefore the correct answer.
