How do you identify a 'supercell'?

In a table, supercells are identified by comparing each cell's value with its adjacent cells (left, right, top, bottom). If a cell's value is the highest among its neighbors, it is considered a supercell.

How does the size of the table affect the number of supercells?

The number of supercells that can exist in a table depends on the number of cells it contains. For example, a table with many cells can have many possible supercells.

What is the strategy to find the maximum number of supercells?

Finding the maximum number of supercells in a table involves strategically placing numbers to maximize the number of cells that are greater than their neighbors. This requires planning and a good understanding of the concept.

How do you find a 3-digit palindrome using the digits 1, 2, and 3?

To find a 3-digit palindrome using the digits 1, 2, and 3, you can arrange them in a way that reads the same backward as forward. This results in the palindrome 121.

What are all possible 3-digit palindromes using the digits 1, 2, and 3?

To reverse a number, you switch its digits. For example, the reverse of 72 is 27. To find all possible 3-digit palindromes using the digits 1, 2, and 3, you can reverse the digits and check if they form a palindrome. Examples: 121 (121 reversed is 121, this is a palindrome) 212 (212 reversed is 212, this is a palindrome) 323 (323 reversed is 323, this is a palindrome)
There are three possible palindromes using the digits 1, 2, and 3.

What is the reverse-and-add method?

The reverse-and-add method involves reversing a number and adding it to the original number. If you repeat this process, you may eventually get a palindrome.

How does the reverse-and-add method work?

Example:

  1. Start with the number 57.
  2. Reverse the digits: 75.
  3. Add the reversed number to the original number: 57 + 75 = 132.
  4. Reverse the result: 231.
  5. Add the reversed result to the previous result: 132 + 231 = 363.
  6. Since 363 is a palindrome, we stop here.
