How do you get a rope out of a loop?

The Solution

Reach in through your handcuff with a thumb and finger; and grab the tip of the other person's rope. Now pull it through the opening between the loop and the wrist. Pull it over the hand and then pull it out of the loop.

How would you get 30 minutes if you know that a rope takes 1 hour to burn and there are two ropes but they burn non linearly?

Update: Alright, here's the answer. Light both ends of rope A and one end of rope B. After 30 minutes, rope A will be completely burned up and there will be 30 minutes of rope B left. Light the other end of rope B; it will burn up in 15 minutes.

How do you solve an 8-puzzle algorithm?

Let's start with what I mean by an “8-Puzzle” problem.

The puzzle is divided into sqrt(N+1) rows and sqrt(N+1) columns. Eg. 15-Puzzle will have 4 rows and 4 columns and an 8-Puzzle will have 3 rows and 3 columns. The puzzle consists of N tiles and one empty space where the tiles can be moved.

What is the 8-puzzle problem?

The 8-puzzle problem is a puzzle invented and popularized by Noyes Palmer Chapman in the 1870s. It is played on a 3-by-3 grid with 8 square blocks labeled 1 through 8 and a blank square. Your goal is to rearrange the blocks so that they are in order.

What is the heuristic for 8-puzzle problem?

h4 = 5 (out of row) + 8 (out of column) = 13. optimal solution to this problem as a heuristic for the 8-puzzle. Represent the 'space' as a tile and assume you can swap any two tiles. Use the cost of the optimal solution to this problem as a heuristic for the 8-puzzle.

How do you remove a ring from a rope?

Remove a stuck ring

Try dental floss: Poke the end of a length of dental floss under the ring, then wind the floss from the dispenser firmly around and up the finger from the ring towards and over the knuckle.
