.Kingdom of *Maplewood* is a beautiful country comprising of a lot of small islands of different areas. All the islands are in a straight row. King * Rosewood* is getting old and has decided to divide the islands among his two sons - *Eric* and *Finn*. Luckily, the total number of islands is even. He has also decided a few rules for the division of islands: i) *Eric* and *Finn* will be given alternate turns to choose the islands. ii) They can only choose one island at a time from either the beginning or the end of the row of islands. iii) Once an island is chosen by someone,it cannot be chosen by other person. Suppose you are *Eric* and you are given the first choice. Find out the maximum area you are sure you can pick. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
