Mr. Boris is stranded on an island after the cruise he is holidaying on crashed. He need to solve a complex problem - SURVIVE before a rescue ship comes along. Which is NOT a computational technique?

• Break down into several smaller tasks he need to solve - food, water, shelter, rescue

• Apply his ketupat leaf weaving skills to make a hut, a set of clothes and a fish basket

• Make a map of the island

• Do nothing and just lie down somewhere cool and comfortable until a rescue ship comes along

Draw a monster

9 tourists arrive at the port wanting to cross over the Gulf of Aqaba in the glass-bottom boat to visit Petra.

You, the boat owner gave them 9 numbers from 1 - 9.

For sailing safety over the deep salty beautiful gulf, there are some rules:

Rule-1: Maximum 3 numbers can cross at a time.

Rule-2: The boat will not set sail on its own with no customer.Rule-3: The sum of numbers crossing at a time must be a square number.

You need to plan trips such that minimum trips are needed for all numbers to cross.

How many trips do you make in total?

• 5 trips

• 11 trips

• 7 trips

• 9 trips

• Code to line-follow

• Code for it to turn at correct angle

• Code to auto-count the number of wheel rotation to reach destination

• Code for it to do suave spin before parking
