Statement of the Problem
Monsoon rains have created a lake in the middle of Santong Island. Furthermore,
that lake contains an island. Two Jeroos were separated by the rains. One is
on the main part of Santong Island, but the other is on the island in the middle
of the lake. The goal of this program is to have each Jeroo explore their shoreline
of the lake. Each Jeroo starts with one flower and the lake immediately to its
right. Each Jeroo starts by planting a flower then travelling, always following the lake
on its right without skipping any shore line, until it returns to the flower. The Jeroo then picks the flower.
Have the Jeroo on the main part of Santong Island walk the shore first, then
have the one on the lake’s island walk the shore.
