TED-Ed: The Tower of Epiphany | Think Like A Coder, Ep 7 | Alex Rosenthal

Ethic and Hedge face a challenge to capture energy using basins within a 60-second timer. They must calculate the exact units of energy needed to propel them upwards. The video explains how to develop an algorithm to determine energy capture using columns and optimize it for efficiency. Ethic's backstory reveals her role as a Chief Robotics Engineer who created Hedge to protect an ancient device. The video concludes with Ethic and Hedge successfully completing the challenge.

What is the significance of the walls in determining how much energy can be held?

How does Hedge optimize the process of calculating energy capacity?

What were the three artifacts created by Ethic, and what was their purpose?
