HANGOVER - Hangover |
How far can you make a stack of cards overhang a table? If you have one card, you can create a maximum overhang of half a card length. (We're assuming that the cards must be perpendicular to the table.) With two cards you can make the top card overhang the bottom one by half a card length, and the bottom one overhang the table by a third of a card length, for a total maximum overhang of 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 card lengths. In general you can make n cards overhang by 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/(n + 1) card lengths, where the top card overhangs the second by 1/2, the second overhangs tha third by 1/3, the third overhangs the fourth by 1/4, etc., and the bottom card overhangs the table by 1/(n + 1). This is illustrated in the figure below.
Input
The input consists of one or more test cases, followed by a line containing the number 0.00 that signals the end of the input. Each test case is a single line containing a positive floating-point number c whose value is at least 0.01 and at most 5.20; c will contain exactly three digits.
Output
For each test case, output the minimum number of cards necessary to achieve an overhang of at least c card lengths. Use the exact output format shown in the examples.
Input: 1.00 3.71 0.04 5.19 0.00 Output: 3 card(s) 61 card(s) 1 card(s) 273 card(s)

AC in second, put "cards(s)" instead of "card(s)" |

I agree with John Doe - the formula given in the problem description is wrong. It allows to get an AC, but it has nothing to do with the real physical problem with cards described above. Last edit: 2015-07-06 16:24:07 |

Very easy AC in 2nd go :( , got one WA due to missing space between the numbers and card(s) in output, foolish mistake Last edit: 2015-06-04 06:56:15 |
