Work out the steps to release the most pressure in 30 minutes. /What is

the most pressure you can release?/

** --- Part Two ---
|
||||
You're worried that even with an optimal approach, the pressure released
|
||||
won't be enough. What if you got one of the elephants to help you?
|
||||
|
||||
It would take you 4 minutes to teach an elephant how to open the right
|
||||
valves in the right order, leaving you with only /26 minutes/ to
|
||||
actually execute your plan. Would having two of you working together be
|
||||
better, even if it means having less time? (Assume that you teach the
|
||||
elephant before opening any valves yourself, giving you both the same
|
||||
full 26 minutes.)
|
||||
|
||||
In the example above, you could teach the elephant to help you as
|
||||
follows:
|
||||
|
||||
#+begin_example
|
||||
== Minute 1 ==
|
||||
No valves are open.
|
||||
You move to valve II.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve DD.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 2 ==
|
||||
No valves are open.
|
||||
You move to valve JJ.
|
||||
The elephant opens valve DD.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 3 ==
|
||||
Valve DD is open, releasing 20 pressure.
|
||||
You open valve JJ.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve EE.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 4 ==
|
||||
Valves DD and JJ are open, releasing 41 pressure.
|
||||
You move to valve II.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve FF.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 5 ==
|
||||
Valves DD and JJ are open, releasing 41 pressure.
|
||||
You move to valve AA.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve GG.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 6 ==
|
||||
Valves DD and JJ are open, releasing 41 pressure.
|
||||
You move to valve BB.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve HH.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 7 ==
|
||||
Valves DD and JJ are open, releasing 41 pressure.
|
||||
You open valve BB.
|
||||
The elephant opens valve HH.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 8 ==
|
||||
Valves BB, DD, HH, and JJ are open, releasing 76 pressure.
|
||||
You move to valve CC.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve GG.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 9 ==
|
||||
Valves BB, DD, HH, and JJ are open, releasing 76 pressure.
|
||||
You open valve CC.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve FF.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 10 ==
|
||||
Valves BB, CC, DD, HH, and JJ are open, releasing 78 pressure.
|
||||
The elephant moves to valve EE.
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 11 ==
|
||||
Valves BB, CC, DD, HH, and JJ are open, releasing 78 pressure.
|
||||
The elephant opens valve EE.
|
||||
|
||||
(At this point, all valves are open.)
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 12 ==
|
||||
Valves BB, CC, DD, EE, HH, and JJ are open, releasing 81 pressure.
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 20 ==
|
||||
Valves BB, CC, DD, EE, HH, and JJ are open, releasing 81 pressure.
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
== Minute 26 ==
|
||||
Valves BB, CC, DD, EE, HH, and JJ are open, releasing 81 pressure.
|
||||
#+end_example
|
||||
|
||||
With the elephant helping, after 26 minutes, the best you could do would
|
||||
release a total of =1707= pressure.
|
||||
|
||||
/With you and an elephant working together for 26 minutes, what is the
|
||||
most pressure you could release?/
