This professor is obviously a noob because 200 Zerglings and 800 Banelings = 500 supply. Impossible situation.

SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS


He should use the more technical term - O-lords.

Nah, he's fine. It's only a brag blog if he skipped 6.042 and 6.046 and jumped straight into 6.854.

You should definately put "This player needs to spawn more O-lords" at the end of your answer, you'll get extra credit.

let b_n and z_n be the number of b-lings and z-lings of the nth generation.

inspection shows that if z_i - b_i > 0, then z_n - b_n is an unbounded monotone sequence as n grows. thus, we make our induction on the stronger assumption that z_n <= b_n. (this surely satisfies that z_n <= 2*b_n, since b_n < 2*b_n.)

hypothesis: if z_n <= b_n, then z_n+1 <= b_n+1.

prove that and you're done. you can rewrite it as b_n - z_n > 0. (there is a slight nuance if the difference is odd or even)

You should totally mention additional O-lords in your answer and hint that he should come to CSL :D

Hahaha, it is a trick question, if you try to put the boundaries he wants you wouldn't get anything, you need to prove a stronger statement.

Anyhow, it is easy to show that:
The number of zlings after n+1 cycles is 200+600*2^n
The number of blings after n cycles is 200+600*2^n

2nd generation

200 zlings mate with 200 blings = 200 zlings and 200 blings

600 blings left over, so 300 pairs = 600 blings and 300 zlings.

total = 500 zlings and 800 blings, your formula doesn't work

I wonder if you put:

Answer not possible, 200z-lings and 800 b-lings are past the 200 supply limit cap. GG

If he would give +1 point and not mark you incorrect...lmao Awesome Teacher
Why?

lol....nice. But the answer is false. Reason: initial state there are 1/4 as many Z-lings as B-lings, and thus the condition "always" cannot be met.

[edit]
But if you see this on a test, you should write "You require more O-lords".

"It can be proven that the amount of z-lings and/or b-lings one could have at any given time could never exceed a total of 400, you would know this if you weren't such a bronze league newbie. GG no re."
