Raja was studying for his examinations and the lights went off. It was around 1:00 AM. He lighted two uniform candles of equal length but one thicker than the other. The thick candle is supposed to last six hours and the thin one two hours less. When he finally went to sleep, the thick candle was twice as long as the thin one. For how long did Raja study in candle light?

3 Hr is the Answer
Thick can last for 6hr. Thin can last for 4 hr. Let LCM of 6,4 be the total length of candle. Candle Length = 12
Hence, their efficiency ratio is
Th : Tn = 2 : 3 (In 1hr, 2 parts of Thick candle and 3 parts of thin candle Burnt down)
Hence in 3 hr, 6 parts of Thick candle and 9 parts of Thin candle burnt down
Remaining 6 parts of Thick candle and 3 parts of Thin candle is there Out of 12 parts(It is of ratio 2 : 1)
Hence 3 hr is the answer

You're working on a game that involves enemy wizards dueling each other. Each wizard has at least a dozen different spells at his disposal -- some of them simply inflict damage, while others will temporarily stun or immobilize an enemy, slow him, prevent him from casting spells for a brief duration, teleport the caster a short distance, or give the caster a temporary shield. A wizard can only cast one spell at a time, but each spell has a fixed cooldown (time before it can be cast again) and an associated mana cost (assume no mana regeneration). Describe some ways you might implement a competent AI system for a wizard.
