Consider the following game. a dealer produces a sequence of "cards," face up, where each card si has a value vi . then two players take turns picking a card from the sequence, but can only pick the first or the last card of the (remaining) sequence. the goal is to collect cards of largest total value. (for example, you can think of the cards as bills of different denominations.) assume n is even. give an o(n^2) algorithm to compute an optimal strategy for the first player. given the initial sequence, your algorithm should precompute in o(n^2) time some information, and then the first player should be able to make each move optimally in o(1) time by looking up the precomputed information.

One of your customers wants you to build a personal server that he can use in his home. one of his concerns is making sure he has at least one backup of their data stored on the server in the event that a disk fails. you have decided to back up his data using raid. since this server is for personal use only, the customer wants to keep costs down. therefore, he would like to keep the number of drives to a minimum. which of the following raid systems would best meet the customer's specifications? a. raid 0 b. raid 1 c. raid 5 d. raid 10
