[Algorithms] [A1] Which of the following instructions will enable the farmbot in the picture below to pick up the chicken?

• move right 3, move down 2, pick up chicken
• move down 2, move right 3, pick up chicken
• move right 3, move down 3, pick up chicken
• move right 1, move down 1, move right 1, move down 1, pick up chicken

[Programming] [P2.2] Look at the block of Scratch code - what will it do?

• Ask your name 3 times, each time if you answer Bob it will say 'Hi Bob, good to see you again'.
• It will ask for your name and if you type Bob it will say 'I don't know you'.
• It won't work, the code is wrong.
• When the green flag is pressed, it will ask your name 3 times, each time if you answer Bob it will say 'Hi Bob, good to see you again'.
