Woburn Challenge 2001 - Suicidal
So that was enough craziness. Three whole days of no studying was just
too much and so orientation week was cut back to only (a OR b) AND (c OR a) AND (x OR NOT y)
) for which they have to find a
solution. Being engineers not in the math stream, they set out to solve
the formula using the only method they know: brute force (i.e. trying all
possible combinations for all the variables). There are however
- Word has leaked out that this so-called "class" is really another test of their orientation week and that there is a mole within their group who is sabotaging their efforts to find a solution to the formula.
- They have discovered that not all CNF formulas are satisfiable.
Therefore the following question arises: are they unable to find a solution because a) they are stupid, b) the mole is sabotaging their efforts or c) the formula is unsatisfiable.
Furthermore, being Waterloo keeners, they want to solve this problem in
time
