Campus Challenge 2014, Question 6

The Goodies Business (Analysis)

Halwai Foods is a well established organization in the business of instant foods, coffee, tea and milk powders, instant noodles and such like.

A 50 year old brand, they have a national presence and cover more than 1 lac outlets all over the country.

Naresh Bhojwani, Head of Sales, has been concerned about competition from local brands which have been steadily eating into his market share. He feels the need to enthuse and revitalise his outlets to bring back the glory that once was Indore Foods.

He wants to plan an incentive scheme that will help energise the outlets and help them increase their sales of his brands. He wants to increase pe*******on of brands and encourage long term outlet loyalty.

Rather than give discounts, he prefers to reward outlet owners with incentives such as paid holidays, family gifts, IPL passes etc. He wants to come up with ideas that would maximize the impact of these schemes.

Such incentives should only be awarded based on rules and policies and cannot be done on an adhoc basis.

You have just joined there as a bright, young analyst and are waiting to prove your worth.

Given in the link at the bottom of this post is some sample data of sales by region, outlets, product. Using this, come up with analyses to support your ideas for rule based incentive schemes.

Campus Challenge 2014, Question 3: Scrabble (Programming)

Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, bearing a single letter, onto a gameboard which is divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words which, in crossword fashion, flow left to right in rows or downwards in columns.
See the following image for an illustration of a scrabble game in progress:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByV4jBpCvIshQnJiRGQtM25yLTQ/edit?usp=sharing

Each player is provided 7 tiles from a bag. A player may form a valid word by using an existing tile as a seed. The objective is to use as many letters as possible to form a valid English language word. The longer the word, the better.

Write a program that accepts the following as input:

Input Case Number, Letter to use, its position in x,y and list of tiles in the rack.

1,Q,(1,6),A,S,U,R,E,S,T
2,O,(8,8),B,C,K,A,G,E,L
3,L,(12,2),P,E,A,S,T,A,N
4,G,(12,13),I,N,W,S,H,A,T

Your program should print :

For example, your output should look like this:
1, SQUARE
2, BLOCKAGE
