what up john. so me and justin got together and we sorta figured this out. ya so it is 9 like you said. but we just drew it out and found out all the moves that you could to in super mario rip off. so our technique was start from the bottom and slowly work our way up until there was no possible way to move this 8 pixel car
I got the same answer! I did it somehow like how Jatin and Justin did it. I drew out the whole puzzle and then drew lines until there was no possible way to move using only east, south and southeast. However, I didn't start from the bottom, I started from the top. :)
So here goes... There's a lot of pressure on me right now because I've been getting all the POTW's wrong recently, and if I fail any more, it'll hurt my pride :___: There should be 8 different routes Maria can take. I think so because there the top 2 box triangles are cut out because they go North east; a route Maria cannot take. Now I can work with the edges and bottom 2 boxes. The edges provide 2 routes, and including the small space between the top and bottom boxes, there are 3 others routes. The area near the left allows for more route options because it can go South, east to the end, south, or South, east to the middle, south, and east again. The area near the right only provides for 1, which is east to the middle, south, east, and south. And when I use the south east paths, there are another 3 options, with similar reasons to what I explained before. The area near the right allows for 2 paths, as described: East to the middle, south to the middle, southeast, and South to the middle, east to the middle, southeast, to the finish, The area near the left only allows one, where it goes like south to the middle, southeast, and east. 3+3+2=8. and that's how I got 8 options. I pray I am not wrong again, or at least somewhat close. >_<
there are no wrong answers in a way, Emily~ =) the beauty of these exercise and our online math community and conversation is that you always get something out of it; whether the end result is correct or not~ =)
Thanks! But you can't help but feel a little helpless at times... ^^: No matter though! As you said, I will continue with my answers (not just for the candy hehehe)!
LET US SOLVE THIS QUESTION. THE DIAGONALS IN THE TOP LEFT AND TOP RIGHT ARE UNUSABLE HERE ARE THE POSSIBILITIES YOU CAN USE ANY COMBINATION OF 2 EASTS AND 2 SOUTHS TO GET TO THE FINISH EAST EAST SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH EAST EAST EAST SOUTH EAST SOUTH SOUTH EAST SOUTH EAST SOUTH EAST EAST SOUTH EAST SOUTH SOUTH EAST THAT IS 6 NOW WE ADD IN THE SOUTHEAST POSSIBILITIES EVERYTIME SOUTH AND EAST ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE SECND THIRD AND FOURTH DIRECTIONS, REPLACE IT WITH SOUTHEAST NOT FOR THE FIRST BECAUSE THE TOP LEFT AND TOP RIGHT DIAGONALS ARE UNUSABLE EAST SOUTH SOUTHEAST SOUTH EAST SOUTHEAST SOUTH SOUTHEAST EAST ADDING 6+3=9 THERE ARE 9 WAYS
FIRST YOU CAN USE ANY COMBINATION OF 2 SOUTHS AND 2 EASTS TO GET TO THE FINISH SOUTH SOUTH EAST EAST EAST EAST SOUTH SOUTH SOUTH EAST SOUTH EAST EAST SOUTH EAST SOUTH SOUTH EAST EAST SOUTH EAST SOUTH SOUTH EAST THAT IS 6 NOW WE ADD IN THE SOUTHEAST WAYS YOU MUST USE 1 SOUTH, 1 EAST, AND 1 SOUTHEAST SOUTH EAST SOUTHEAST EAST SOUTH SOUTHEAST SOUTH SOUTHEAST EAST WE ADD 6+3 TO GET 9, THE NUMBER OF POSSIBLE WAYS.
We think that there are 9 different routes that Maria can take from Start to Finish.
We first eliminated invalid routes, which are those using anything other than the given EAST,SOUTH, OR SOUTHEAST. These are Southwest, West, Northwest, North, and Northeast.
To make things easier, any route going up or West is a no-go (all routes must be going down or west)
With this in mind, we worked on from the Start using only East, South, and Southeast.
Key: S = South E = East (SE) = Southeast
Routes: SSEE S(SE)E SESE SE(SE) SEES ESSE ES(SE) ESES EESS
Yello mates,
ReplyDeleteTo find the answer you just have to use the direction South, East and Southeast
What I did first was to only use South and East to find my way to... um freedom XD
1st route: South, South, East, East
2nd route: East, East, South, South
3rd route: South, East, East, South
4th route: East, South, South, East
5th route: South, East, South, East
6th route: East, South, East, South
Now we add on the southeast direction.
7th route: South, Southeast, East
8th route: East, South, Southeast
9th route: South, East, Southeast
So I think that Super Maria can take 9 routes to reach freedom
That is all
Byeee! lads

Deletei got the same answer but i really like how you articulated your answer.

There's no pressure Emily! You are a wonderful member of our online community and we all (me especially) appreciate your input and hard-work!

ReplyDeleteLET US SOLVE THIS QUESTION.
ReplyDeleteTHE DIAGONALS IN THE TOP LEFT AND TOP RIGHT ARE UNUSABLE
HERE ARE THE POSSIBILITIES
YOU CAN USE ANY COMBINATION OF 2 EASTS AND 2 SOUTHS TO GET TO THE FINISH
EAST EAST SOUTH SOUTH
SOUTH SOUTH EAST EAST
EAST SOUTH EAST SOUTH
SOUTH EAST SOUTH EAST
SOUTH EAST EAST SOUTH
EAST SOUTH SOUTH EAST
THAT IS 6
NOW WE ADD IN THE SOUTHEAST POSSIBILITIES
EVERYTIME SOUTH AND EAST ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE SECND THIRD AND FOURTH DIRECTIONS, REPLACE IT WITH SOUTHEAST
NOT FOR THE FIRST BECAUSE THE TOP LEFT AND TOP RIGHT DIAGONALS ARE UNUSABLE
EAST SOUTH SOUTHEAST
SOUTH EAST SOUTHEAST
SOUTH SOUTHEAST EAST
ADDING 6+3=9
THERE ARE 9 WAYS
FIRST YOU CAN USE ANY COMBINATION OF 2 SOUTHS AND 2 EASTS TO GET TO THE FINISH
ReplyDeleteSOUTH SOUTH EAST EAST
EAST EAST SOUTH SOUTH
SOUTH EAST SOUTH EAST
EAST SOUTH EAST SOUTH
SOUTH EAST EAST SOUTH
EAST SOUTH SOUTH EAST
THAT IS 6
NOW WE ADD IN THE SOUTHEAST WAYS
YOU MUST USE 1 SOUTH, 1 EAST, AND 1 SOUTHEAST
SOUTH EAST SOUTHEAST
EAST SOUTH SOUTHEAST
SOUTH SOUTHEAST EAST
WE ADD 6+3 TO GET 9, THE NUMBER OF POSSIBLE WAYS.
Dude that is not Tony, why the caps mannn?
Deletethere are 9 routes maria can take
ReplyDeleteSis and I did this together

Hmmm, maybe I needed a more challenging one this week. The correct answer was 9 routes. Good work y'all.
