HOW TO CREATE A GAME?



   In this game,  You are given only three alphabets M,I,U.  That means, the following are the only valid strings.
     MU
     UIM
     MUUMUU

     Rules of the game
1. If you possess a string whose last better is I.  You can add on a U at the end.

2. Suppose you have Mx.  Then you may add Mxx to your collection.  'x' being string in the system.
Examples:
     From MIU, you may get MIUIU
     from MU, you may get MUU
     From MUM you may get MUMUM

3. If III occurs in one of the strings in your collection, you may make a new string with U in place of I1I.
Examples:
     From UMIIIMU, you can make UMUMU
     From MIIII, you can make MIU

4. If UU occurs inside one of your strings, you can drop it.
    From UUU get U
    From MUUUIII, get MUIII
   
     At any point, you can apply any rule which you think as the best for the given situation.

Goal:  Produce MU from the starting string MI using the above rules.
     Can you make it?  What rule, you want to modify or add, in order to make the game more interesting and achievable.
     The way you play the game make it as an art.

     Suppose, I want to produce the string MUIIU, How to go about?
1. MI                   starting string
2. MII                   by rule 2
3. MIIII                by rule 2
4. MIIIIU             by rule 1
5. MUIU              by rule 3
6. MUIUUIU       by rule 2
7. MUIIU             by rule 4

     We got it.  This is how the mathematics, a game, computer program  or a puzzle works.
     Play this game or create your own game.  Have fun?
    By the way, this puzzle is taken from the book 'Godel, Escher, Bach', a Pulitzer prize winner.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
