-Multiple Choices Algorithm - by Mark Kelly
+When the world plays football, they are not playing American football, but what is known in the US as soccer. For American football, each team that is fielded will have eleven players. Certainly there are more players on the team, but only eleven are used for each play. There are a lot of young people who like playing football, so quite often just to make the team you want, can be very hard.
-Another in the Fun with Algorithms series
+There are smaller schools at the high school level, and usually they keep everyone who even tries out for the team. But larger schools can be very different, and successfully getting chosen to join is not often a given. How to play each position is a good thing to know, especially in understanding the total game.
-Stuff Pty Ltd sells stuff. The unit cost of the stuff varies according to the quantity ordered. Customers can order any number of items.  Stuff Pty Ltd use this scale:
+Let's scrutinize the offensive line and some of the foundation it's based on. Given the policies of the game, there will be five places open to the offensive line. The basic responsibility of the players is to protect the quarterback and backfield. When the play requires running, the offensive line needs to stop the defense and make holes where the runner can go through. The player in the middle of the five positions is the center, who will snap the football to the quarterback. Next to the center, one on each side is where the two guards are positioned. The two spots on the sides of the guards are occupied by the tackles.
--9 items = $100 each
--19 items = $97 each
--29 items = $92 each
--39 items = $88 each
--49 items = $85 each
-or more = $82 each
-Task: using pseudocode, create an algorithm to calculate the unit cost of the items at different quantities. Then calculate a total cost with 10% GST added.
+When a pass needs to be caught the wide receivers, split out towards the sidelines, and run down the field looking for the quarterback to throw them the ball. When you watch the players run, the ones with the long, powerful strides are probably the wide receivers.
-Convert the pseudocode into code.
-Create test data to fully test all aspects of the solution’s functionality.
-Note:  Input data need not be validated, and the interface can be very basic.

+The primary duty of a wide receiver is to catch the pass and gain maximum yardage. A wide receiver will also block, when there is a running play. Should another receiver successfully catch a pass, the other wide receiver will immediately try to get into position to provide support with blocking and protection.

+There is always something changing on the field if you know what to look for with American football. College and high school football players must learn how to adapt to changes on the playing field quickly. Playing this game is more about a gut feeling than a preplanned event that requires experience and know-how. Linebackers on the defensive side are the main component of the team used to get to the quarterback. To prevent the offensive team for making a touchdown, the defensive team will often blitz to take down the quarterback. If the defensive line is completely devoted to sacking the quarterback, and they fail, this creates many openings for scoring a touchdown.

-Fun with Algorithms - Mark Kelly
-Use flow charts or N-S charts to elegantly solve the following algorithms.  Some are harder than others...  Try actually coding it after doing the brainwork.
---
-Round any decimal number UP to the next highest multiple of 0.25.
---
-Convert any Roman number to decimal (e.g. MCMLXIX to 1969) - and/or vice versa
---
-Convert any binary number to decimal.
---
-Find the lowest (or greatest) common denominator of 2 integers (or report that there is no LCD or GCD).
---
-List prime numbers up to 100
---
-Simulate the display of a single-digit liquid crystal display
-Assume there are 7 LCD bars like this
- _
-|_|
-|_|
-Feed it any numeral or alphabetic character  in hexadecimal range (0 to F) and it should turn on the right bars.  (Efficiency is the key requirement here!)
---
-Given a price including 10% GST, give the ex-tax price and the tax component, e.g. $11 inc = $10 ex + $1 GST.
---
-Create a virtual deck of cards encoded as numbers 1 to 52.  Given any number from 1 to 52, the algorithm should return the suit and rank represented by the card.
---
-Create an algorithm to shuffle the virtual deck of cards
---
-Create an algorithm to play naughts and crosses - it should be unbeatable if the algorithm plays first.
---
-Given an number of dollars, calculate what notes or coins need to be given as change from $100.  e.g. $67 = 1 x $20, 1 x $10, 1 x $2, 1 x $1.

-An electrical company is developing a new main-powered sensorlight with the following requirements:
-•	It turns on its LED light for a predetermined time (e.g. 60 seconds) after sensing movement with its passive infrared (PIR) detector.
-•	It does not turn the light on if its light detector senses that the room is already well illuminated (e.g. during the day)
-•	While its light is on, any further movement detection resets the timer back to its starting value and the countdown starts again.
-Convert your algorithm into a working simulation of the light.  You will need to simulate:
-•	The day/night sensor (e.g. with radio buttons)
-•	The movement sensor (e.g. with a mouse click or keypress)
-•	The LED light (e.g. with a shape changing its colour)
-Show the value of the countdown time onscreen to verify its behaviour.

+When you decide that you want to play football, be prepared for a physically demanding sport. There are many people who want to be football players, but what sets the really good ones apart from the rest is the desire to improve. Football can be a rewarding sport with the proper positive attitude and dedication to improve oneself.
