Alien Monolith Probe Quiz

The video tutorial discusses the discovery of an alien monolith on planet RH-1729 and the development of a probe to study it. The probe consists of 27 cube modules that can self-assemble into a 3x3x3 cube and requires special coatings for different environments. The tutorial explains how to apply red, purple, and green coatings to the cubes so they can reassemble to show only one color at a time. The solution involves a symmetrical painting strategy to ensure all faces are used efficiently, allowing the probe to withstand deep space, atmospheric entry, and electric storms, ultimately achieving alien contact.

What is the primary purpose of the probe developed by the engineering team?

• To collect samples from RH-1729

• To explore the surface of RH-1729

• To communicate with alien life forms

• To study the alien monolith
