Input/Output Problem #1

favorite












The basis for this problem is that you did to make an optimal pattern so that all inputted sequences will be "accepted" if they fit the rules of the problem and "rejected" if they break any of them.




.



Above are some examples of functions that can be performed. (A) shows a machine that will only accept the sequences that repeat 12 as you must begin at start and end on a red dot.



In (B) the "*" means you can pass along that route without an input there. So (B) accepts 1111122222, 22222, 1122 etc but doesn't accept any sequence in which there is a 1 after the 2.



In (C) you can move along either route to reach an end. So 12222 and 1333 are both accepted sequences.



All routes have to be either single digit or single letter. Obviously shorthand like "odd", "even" can be used in answers rather than drawing loads of arrows.




Problem #1



Make an optimal machine using digits 0-9 that only accepts sequences where the digits sum are even and rejects if they are odd.

    These things are called Finite State Machines, and requiring the simplest FSM makes a great puzzle, so I guess this puzzle type is one of the rare cases that would be on topic both here and on PCG. Nicely done!

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
