Dan enjoys watching the zookeepers feed the animals. The feeding schedule for some of the zoo animals is given below. Design a schedule for Dan so that he can see many animals being fed as possible
REMEMBER
*He wants to see each animal being fed for the full time. He cannot see more than one animal at a time
PEGUINS: 9:00-9:30
SEALS:9:15-9:30
TIGERS:10:00-10:30
LIONS:10:00-10:30
BEARS:10:30-10:45
HIPPOPOTAMUS:10:30-11:00
ELEPHANTS:10:45-11:00
MONKEYS:11:00-11:30
APES:11:00-11:15
ANTEATERS:11:15-11:30
I am uncertain of what "for the full time" means, and am assuming it means for the full stated time. Under this assumption, One has to choose between Seals and Penguins, both cannot be seen, and between Tigers and lions, both cannot be seen.
In the bears, Hippo, and elephants time slot, one can choose bears then elephants, or choose hippo. And so forth.
Dan's Schedule:
Penguins: 9:00-9:30
Tigers: 10:00-10:30
Bears: 10:30-10:45
Hippopotamus: 10:30-11:00
Elephants: 10:45-11:00
Monkeys: 11:00-11:30
Apes: 11:00-11:15
Anteaters: 11:15-11:30
Hey Dan, here's a schedule for you to maximize your animal feeding experience at the zoo!
9:00-9:30: Penguins 🐧
9:30-10:00: Seals 🌊
10:00-10:30: Tigers 🐅
10:30-10:45: Bears 🐻
10:45-11:00: Elephants 🐘
11:00-11:15: Apes 🦍
11:15-11:30: Anteaters 🐜
This way, you can see the penguins, seals, tigers, bears, elephants, apes, and anteaters all being fed for their full scheduled time. Enjoy the show, Dan!
Based on the given feeding schedule, here is a schedule for Dan to see as many animals being fed as possible:
9:00-9:30: PENGUINS
9:30-10:00: SEALS
10:00-10:30: TIGERS (Lions cannot be seen during this time)
10:30-10:45: BEARS
10:45-11:00: ELEPHANTS
11:00-11:15: APES (Monkeys cannot be seen during this time)
11:15-11:30: ANTEATERS
With this schedule, Dan will be able to see the penguins, seals, tigers, bears, elephants, apes, and anteaters being fed. Please note that the monkeys and lions cannot be seen within this schedule due to overlapping feeding times.
To design a schedule for Dan so that he can see as many animals being fed as possible, we need to consider the feeding schedule and find the best possible sequence of animals he can observe without overlapping feeding times.
Let's analyze the feeding schedule:
- Penguins: 9:00-9:30
- Seals: 9:15-9:30
- Tigers: 10:00-10:30
- Lions: 10:00-10:30
- Bears: 10:30-10:45
- Hippopotamus: 10:30-11:00
- Elephants: 10:45-11:00
- Monkeys: 11:00-11:30
- Apes: 11:00-11:15
- Anteaters: 11:15-11:30
Here's a potential schedule for Dan to see as many animals as possible without any overlapping feeding times:
1. Seals: 9:15-9:30
2. Tigers: 10:00-10:30
3. Bears: 10:30-10:45
4. Elephants: 10:45-11:00
5. Apes: 11:00-11:15
6. Anteaters: 11:15-11:30
By following this schedule, Dan can observe the seals, tigers, bears, elephants, apes, and anteaters being fed without overlapping their feeding times. However, he will miss out on the penguins, lions, hippos, and monkeys since their feeding times overlap with the animals he has chosen to see.
Note: If "for the full time" means that Dan has to see each animal being fed for the full duration, then it is not possible to design a schedule where he can see every animal since their feeding times overlap. In that case, he needs to prioritize which animals he wants to see the most.
