A mail truck must deliver packages to 5 different homes (A, B, C, D, and E). The trip must start and end at A. The graph below shows the distances (in miles) between locations. We want to minimize the total distance traveled.



The repetitive nearest-neighbor tour starting with vertex A is given by:
◦ A, B, C, D, E, A.
◦ A, E, C, D, B, A.
◦ A, D, B, E, C, A.
◦ A, C, D, B, E, A.
◦ none of these

The shortest trip in this situation can be found using
◦ the cheapest-link algorithm.
◦ the nearest-neighbor algorithm.
◦ both the nearest-neighbor and the cheapest-link algorithms.
◦ the repetitive nearest-neighbor algorithm.
◦ all of these algorithms give the shortest trip in this situation.

Using both the cheapest-link and the repetitive nearest-neighbor algorithm, the length of the shortest trip we can find (without using brute force) is:
◦ 28 miles.
◦ 68 miles.
◦ 58 miles.
◦ 57 miles.
◦ none of these

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

The senior population grows every year. Seniors older than 65 years of age now comprise more than 13% of the total population. However, women outlive men. In the 85-and-over age group, there are only 45 men to every 100 women.

A strange skin disease referred to as Morgellons has occurred in the southern United States and in California. Symptoms include slowly healing sores, joint pain, persistent fatigue, and a sensation of things crawling through the skin. Another symptom is strange-looking, threadlike extrusions coming out of the skin.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
