TED-Ed: The Resistance | Think Like A Coder, Ep 2 | Alex Rosenthal

Hedge and Ethic arrive at a frontier settlement to find a resistance leader who knows the location of a powerful artifact. They must use systematic conditionals to identify the leader based on specific characteristics. The video explains how to use conditionals and loops to efficiently search for the target. Once the leader is found, they plan to reprogram the furnace bots to aid the revolution.

What is the significance of the monthly feeding in the settlement?

• It marks the beginning of a new month.

• It is a time for trading goods.

• It ensures the lights stay on and food is delivered.

• It is a social gathering for the settlers.

Which characteristic is NOT part of the information Hedge gathered about the resistance leader?

• Number of vowels in the name

• Green eyes

• Wears a hat

• Red hair with a double letter in the name

How does Ethic plan to help Hedge find the resistance leader?

• By giving systematic instructions using conditionals

• By using a map of the settlement

• By using a special device to detect the leader

• By asking the settlers directly

What is the purpose of using conditionals in the search for the leader?

• To systematically eliminate settlers who don't match the criteria

• To ensure Hedge asks every question to every person

• To confuse the settlers

• To make the process faster

What should Hedge do if he marks an X for a settler?

• Continue asking more questions to the same person

• Move on to the next person

• Ask for help from Ethic

• Re-evaluate the marked characteristics

Who is the resistance leader that Hedge finds?

• Adila

• Ethic

• Hedge

• Raven

What condition does Adila set for helping Ethic and Hedge?

• They must find the other two artifacts first

• They must reveal their true identities
