You have N marbles and K slots. You have to follow the below mentioned rules :
1. You can put in a marble or take out a marble from slot numbered 1 at any time. 2. You can put in a marble or take out a marble from slot numbered i only if there exists a marble at the slot i - 1. 3. The game stops when a marble reaches the slot numbered K for the first time. Your task is to finish the game in minimum number of valid moves. for further clarification one can visit: http://www.spoj.pl/problems/MOVMRBL/ I am not able to calculate manually the steps for some (N,K) pair (except the cases where K is less than or equal to N*(N-1)/2). e.g how to proceed with just 3 marbles and 10 slots... any idea in this direction will be appreciated... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
