-Multiple Choices Algorithm - by Mark Kelly
+<p>These e cigs may have only been around for almost 3 years, but they have in deed made a big impression on the way people smoke. These handy devices are a great substitute for those harmful cigarettes which many people seem to smoke. Many people prefer to have these e cigs in a smaller size rather than the bigger size which was once highly sought after. There seems to be quite a few people who would prefer one of these e cigarettes rather than the usual health deterring cigarettes.

-Another in the Fun with Algorithms series
+The e cigs also have a red light at the end and this lights up when the user inhales, so the e cigs are much like real cigarettes in their own right. The e cigs really do look like the real thing they are the same shape, size and weight as the real thing. The e cigs will really help make your life and lungs that much greener!

-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:
+Electric cigarettes use liquid nicotine to function and also uses a small battery so when the user inhales the liquid is turned into smoke vapor and this is how to user gets his or her nicotine hit, it really is clever stuff. This gives you faster nicotine hits than the usual conventional methods. At the same time that led light at the tip of the electric cigarette will glow orange to make it look a lot more authentic. It will not burn anything either as the tip of the cigarette is fake.
--9 items = $100 each
+</p><p><img src="http://www.stevevape.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Bolt-Review-Title-Image.jpg" alt="Ecigarette reviews" /></p><p>
--19 items = $97 each
+As these e cigs are legal and have no tobacco in them, you can actually smoke them in public and take them with you wherever you go. There are in addition a number of flavors for you to try. There are additional flavors such as rum and banana as well. There are differing strengths of nicotine which you could get hold of this differs from 1mg right up to 10mg. It is additional to have varying strengths as you could begin with the stronger nicotine and then perhaps reduce the amount you are taking. You can easily change the flavors and strengths of this e cig so you won't be stuck with only one particular flavor or strength. If you think those points on [[http://www.ecigarettereviews.com/expert-rates-the-top-electronic-cigarette-brands/|top electronic cigarette reviews]] are something, then there is more to read as you know plus tons elsewhere. If you think this is all there is, then you are in for a real treat when you see what else we have written on the matter.
--29 items = $92 each
+</p><p>
--39 items = $88 each
+We have always found that the more we learn about something, there are opportunities that become apparent that we did not know about. That is why it is so imperative that you really dissect what you are reading here; your awareness will be the better for it. Make no mistake about it - you have the power to exert far more control over your life than you realize.
--49 items = $85 each
+</p><p>
-or more = $82 each
+An e cig could be perfect if you would like to ensure you don't ruin your health but additionally enjoy the feeling a cigarette may give you. If an e cig seems like something you would be interested in then you should perhaps look into doing some research so you know all the ins and outs of this device. If you carry out some extensive research then you may be able to find out all you need to know regarding this electronic cigarette.
+</p><p>
-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.
+Celebrities have also been seen to use the ecigs, this includes Jimmy White the famous snooker player who has been seen to use his vapor cigarette in contests on a regular basis. An audience that attended Alan Tichmarsh's 400th anniversary show got one handed to them for free and Alan himself smoked one live on air. Paris Hilton also smokes e cigs out on the town and has had pictures taken holding one.
-Convert the pseudocode into code.
+</p><p>
-Create test data to fully test all aspects of the solution’s functionality.
+It is well known that a huge number of people are affected by [[http://tobacco.ucsf.edu/e-cigarettes-release-toxic-chemicals-indoors-should-be-included-clean-indoor-air-laws-and-policies|these kinds of ideas]] and just about everywhere. Indeed, perhaps most people would never think of it or realize what it can do or even when it could make its presence known.
-Note:  Input data need not be validated, and the interface can be very basic.
+</p><p>
+The best approach is to try to maintain an awareness as much as you can. We are much more reactive to things because we tend to wait until it is happening, and there is less thought about preventing something. Have you not ever noticed that about people or even your self? It does seem to be very prevalent in our opinion. If you can put things in place that will help you, then that is smart; and we mean becoming more aware about it.</p>

-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.
