Hi, I'm a little confused about the input for problem 5. The problem states that "the game consists of a 5 x 5 board, 5 tokens representing robots and one representing an astronaut." Some of the datasets have 4+1, some have 5+1 tokens... should the 4+1 be discarded as "invalid data," or should our program be able to solve the problem for any number of tokens?
Also, the problems states that "you should print a message and skip lines that represent illegal input. " Does this mean that, if we skip a line, the program should just ignore it and proceed to the next (letting the user know it skipped one), or should the program NOT continue any further? If, let's say, the program were to continue, what if then there's only 3 "valid" helper robots... should the program try to solve for that? (I guess this relates back to the first question).
