A spinner with three equal sections is being used in a game. One section is labeled “0 points,” and two sections are labeled “2 points.” A player can decide not to spin the spinner and score 1 point. Each player gets one turn, and the player with the higher score wins; in case of a tie, the winner is decided by one flip of a fair coin. Alex takes his turn first. Eddie, knowing Alex’s score, takes his turn next. If both players use strategies that maximize their winning probabilities, what is the probability that Alex wins? a 1/3 b 1/2 c 2/3 d 4/9

There are four people who want to cross a rickety bridge; they all begin on the same side. You have 17 minutes to get them all across to the other side. It is night, and they have one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross the bridge at one time. Any party that crosses, either one or two people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth; it cannot be thrown, for example. Person 1 takes 1 minute to cross the bridge, person 2 takes 2 minutes, person 3 takes 5 minutes, and person 4 takes 10 minutes. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower person's pace. Write the specification of an algorithm that solves the problem.
