Consider the problem of solving two 8-puzzles.

a. Give a complete problem formulation.

b. How large is the reachable state space? Give an exact numerical expression.

c. Suppose we make the problem adversarial as follows: the two players take turns moving; a coin is flipped to determine the puzzle on which to make a move in that turn; and the winner is the first to solve one puzzle. Which algorithm can be used to choose a move in this setting?

d. Give an informal proof that someone will eventually win if both play perfectly.

Select the correct answer. sean is a computer programmer. he has programmed an application for toddlers that plays nursery rhymes. however, a logic error has occurred in the program. which problem is a likely consequence of the error? a. the program crashes every time the user wants to play the nursery rhymes. b. the program crosses its buffer boundaries and overwrites an adjacent program. c. the program plays a different nursery rhyme than the one the user intended to play. d. the program shows different structures in its programming language code. e. the program introduces new viruses every time the user plays a nursery rhyme.

Suppose you are an ad-serving company and you maintain a log of cookie data for ads you serve to the web pages for a particular vendor (say amazon). a. how can you use this data to determine which are the best ads? b. how can you use this data to determine which are the best ad formats? c. how could you records of past ads and ad clicks to determine which ads to send to a given ip address? d. how could you use this data to determine how well the technique you used in your answer to part c was working? e. how could you use this data to determine that a given ip address is used by more than one person? f. how does having this data give you a competitive advantage vis-à-vis other ad-serving companies?
