- Congratulations on your new job as head shipping clerk in the roach
- division at Insect Fun Inc. As you know, Insect Fun Inc. offers a full
- line of recreational insect experimentation and observation kits including
- its popular Roach Farm Fun Kit. Your job is to fill test tubes with live
- roaches in preparation for shipping so that eager Roach Farm customers may
- stock their farms with livestock. During your work day, you are presented
- with test tubes of varying sizes, each containing an arbitrary number of
- roaches. They arrive from the breeding centers this way (center workers
- tend to scoop up random numbers of roaches). You are then presented with
- an invoice form which lists the quantities of roaches that customers have
- ordered. The first roach quantity on the invoice is for the tube on the
- top, the second quantity is for the tube second from the top, and so on.
- Your problem is that you can't move each roach individually from
- one tube to another. Insect Fun Inc. ships only the strongest Brazilian
- cockaroaches, so you don't want to pick them out by hand for fear that they
- will escape. To move the roaches, you must connect the tube that you want
- to move roaches from (the source tube) to the tube that you want to move
- roaches to (the destination tube) with a flexible hose. By shaking the
- source tube slightly, the roaches are coaxed into moving out into the hose
- and then into the destination tube. As you can see, roaches will therefore
- keep moving from one tube to the other until either the destination tube is
- full or the source tube is empty. Use the mouse pointer to direct activity
- on the computer screen. Click on the source tube and then on the
- destination tube. Keep doing this until the proper quantities of roaches
- are in each of the test tubes.
