Important Contest Instructions!!

Please read the following instructions carefully. They contain important information on
how to run your programs and how to prepare them for submission. If you have any
questions regarding these instructions, please ask it in our Discord server (your
teacher has the link).

NEW instructions for 2021!

• Online Code Submission: Solutions will be submitted through the contest site using a text box (with a large character limit, don't
worry!) instead of a file upload. You will need to copy and paste the solution from your local source code file into the text box. Once you
select the problem number and language from the respective drop-downs, you can submit the solution for judging. For Java, the main
class must still be named probXX.

• C/C++ source code submission instead of executables.: Any solutions in C or C++ must be submitted as source files and not as a
binary executable. Your solutions can rely on glibc/libm and the standard headers. More information about our C/C++ environment and
how you can create it locally are provided in the "C/C++ Development Environment Guide" available on the contest site.

Program Input
Most programs will require input. You have two options:

1 Read from file

Your program may read the input from a file. The input data will be in a local directory in the file input.txt.

2 Read from keyboard input (standard in)

Your program may read the input from the keyboard (standard in). You may type everything on the keyboard, or you may copy
the data from input.txt to standard in.

Tip: Type Ctrl-Z <return> to signal the end of keyboard input.

Note: An easy way to enter keyboard data is by redirecting the contents of a file to your program. For example, if you are
executing prob01, the input file input.txt can be redirected to the standard in of your program using syntax like this (examples
are shown for each of the allowed languages):

%> java prob01 < input.txt

%> java -jar js.jar prob01.js < input.txt
%> python prob01.py < input.txt
%> prob01.exe < input.txt

Your program will behave exactly as if you were typing the input at the keyboard.

Program output
All programs must send their output to the screen (standard out, the default for any print statement). Please remember to
carefully review your file names.

Source code naming convention

We recommend the following naming convention for your local source files: probXX.java / probXX.js / probXX.py2 /
probXX.py3 / probXX.c / probXX.cpp, where 'XX' corresponds to the problem number (including leading zero, e.g.
prob03.java). This naming convention allows you to use the checkProb.bat (Windows batch) file to test your solutions.

• For Python you should use the extension that matches the Python version that you are using.
• For Java, the main class must be named probXX. Note there is no capitalization. All main and supporting classes should
be in the default (or anonymous) package.

You are strongly encouraged to submit solutions for Problem #0 and #1 (see next pages) prior to the start of the competition to
ensure that your environment is compatible with the judges' and that you understand the input and output methods required.

The Needs Of The Many 1
01 points

Help Spock welcome you, the new captain of the Enterprise, to the
bridge with a reminder of your duty -- by telling him your name.

Input
You will receive exactly one word on a single line.

Jim

Output
Print the following sentence to the screen, substituting the word read in from your dataset in place of the
placeholder NAME: NAME, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one; live long and
prosper.

Jim, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one; live long and prosper.

Discussion
You do not have to worry about spaces, hyphenated names, or words that are too long. You are guaranteed that
the words supplied in the datasets will fit in the output, and conform to the guidelines given.

Reminder: have you run your solution against all of the student data sets?

Additional Examples

Parasitoid / Host Interaction Models 2
02 points

W. R. Thompson (1924) was interested in what happened to

parasitoid/host populations in areas where parasites were
released into an area with a large host density. In the model
initially he assumed that the parasitoid would only lay one egg
in each host that was found. Thus:

(No. eggs laid) = (Mean Female Egg Compliment)(No.

Females Searching)
Pe = C * P

However, this model did not work too well because many
parasites are unable to distinguish between parasitized and
unparasitized hosts. Thus Thompson's model predicted a
higher rate of parasitism than would actually occur. In reality, a
host can end up with more than one parasitoid egg and is then
"superparasitized".
Thompson's model may not have been very accurate, but it
makes a great CodeWars program. Write a program that uses
Thompson's model to predict the rate of parasitism for a pair
of input values.

Input
The first line of input is the value of C, the Mean Female Egg Compliment, an integer between 1 and 10,000. The
second line is the value of P, the Number of Females Searching, an integer between 1 and 100,000.

1300
97450

Output
The program must print the value of Pe, the Number of Eggs Laid. The answer must match the judge's expected
value precisely.

126685000

Discussion
The output should literally just be the product of the multiplication of the integer values from the two lines. You are
guaranteed that you will not receive any values for input (or have to calculate for output) which will overflow an
int-32.

Reminder: have you run your solution against all of the student data sets?

No Disassemble! 3
03 points

There's a short circuit in the management fabric

induced by a power surge from a lightning strike. The
engineering team needs you to take an unmarked
white van and investigate the numbered input nodes
in the fabric.

You must inspect each node by disassembling it. If it

is working, you'll send a message back to the
laboratory at corporate headquarters and
reassemble the node. With the fabric not working
correctly you'll be using a low-frequency channel that
can only send very short messages. In fact, you can
only send a single number.

The management at corporate headquarters would

like to see a human-friendly message instead of a
single number. So before leaving, you must write a
program that reads a single number and writes a
friendly message on the screen.

Input
The input is a single integer between one and ten, inclusive.

Output
The program must print a sentence in the format shown below, using the input number written as a word.

Number five is alive!

Discussion
Simply spell out the integer as a word and plug it into the output sentence.

Reminder: have you run your solution against all of the student data sets?

Additional Examples
Input 1 Output 1 Input 2 Output 2

10 Number ten is alive! 8 Number eight is alive!

Makin' It Rain 3
05 points

Tony has a problem. He needs to

program the prototype of his Iron
Man suit, which means he needs
the circuit logic to work, which
means he needs to convince his
obstinate compiler AI that: A * (B
+ C) = A * B + A * C Help Tony
convince the compiler AI with some
examples.

Input
You will get exactly 3 lines of input. Line 1 contains the value for A. Line 3 contains the value for C. (The rest of
the line definitions Tony leaves as an exercise for the reader ^_-)

Output
Your program must help Tony convince his obnoxious know-it-all AI (is there any other type?) that his math is
correct. So, your program must show its work. Print three lines of output. On the first line swap the numbers into
the equation given above. On the second line, first solve the parts in parenthesis (on the left side of the equation);
then do the multiplication (only on the right side). On the third line show the result of the final evaluations. AIs are
tricky little devils, and they are extremely suspicious of human errors so follow the output format given below
exactly.

11 * (5 + 4) = 11 * 5 + 11 * 4
11 * 9 = 55 + 44
99 = 99

Discussion
This is a substitution mathematics problem. Simply plug in the numbers into the formulas given for all of the
stages given, and then calculate the results. You are guaranteed not to have deal with negative numbers or
multiplication by zero.

Reminder: have you run your solution against all of the student data sets?

Additional Examples

15 15 * (7 + 89) = 15 * 7 + 15 * 89 22 22 * (105 + 33) = 22 * 105 + 22 * 33

7 15 * 96 = 105 + 1335 105 22 * 138 = 2310 + 726
89 1440 = 1440 33 3036 = 3036

Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest person in space 4
06 points

Shepard knows that Newton

stood on the shoulders of
pioneers such as Johannes
Kepler, who derived three
mathematical laws for
planetary motion in the early
1600's. This work was based
on measurements made
before the advent of the
telescope using instruments
called quadrants and sextants.
Oh, and before the advent of
the computer as well.

Kepler's third law of Planetary

Motion captures the
relationship between the
distance of planets from the
Sun and their orbital periods. It
states that the square of the
orbital period of a planet is
proportional to the cube of the
semi-major axis of its orbit. If
we assume that the period P is measured in Earth-years and the orbital radius R is measured in Astronomical
Units (AU), then the equation is simply this:

𝑃2 = 𝑅 3

Where P is the period measured in Earth-years, and R is the semi-major axis (orbital radius) in Astronomical
Units (AU).

Help Shepard write a program to calculate the orbital radius of a planet given its orbital period so she can better
map the star system she is in. To solve this problem you may need to know that you can express square roots
and cube roots as fractional exponents. For example:

x1/2 =

x1/3 =

Input
Each line of input is the orbital period (P), in years, of a body orbiting the sun. The input ends with a value of
zero.

Companion Cubes 5
07 points

GladOS is sorting her testing subjects (again). While

she's at it, she's also going through the historical
records of ex-employees test subjects to make sure
their assigned companion cubes were properly
collected when their tests were concluded.

GladOS is especially concerned to find lonely

companion cubes (cubes assigned to test subject
Lonely which is the code for not assigned in her
system), duplicate assignments for companion cubes
(the same cube ID number assigned to more than one
person), and test subjects who are missing their cubes
(assigned cube ID 0).

Input
GladOS is calling up lists of test subjects from the archives. Each list will have, on line one, the total count of
people in the list. Every line after that will consist of the subject's first name followed by a space, and then the
companion cube ID assigned to that person.

Companion Cubes 5
07 continued points

Discussion
No names will contain spaces. For the duplicate counts, you are counting the duplicate cube IDs assigned, not
the total number of times IDs were duplicated. For example, if cube ID 99 shows on every line of the file, that
counts as one cube ID that was duplicated.

Reminder: have you run your solution against all of the student data sets?
