Congratulations on your new job as head shipping clerk in the roach
division at Insect Fun Inc. As you know, Insect Fun Inc. offers a full
line of recreational insect experimentation and observation kits including
its popular Roach Farm Fun Kit. Your job is to fill test tubes with live
roaches in preparation for shipping so that eager Roach Farm customers may
stock their farms with livestock. During your work day, you are presented
with test tubes of varying sizes, each containing an arbitrary number of
roaches. They arrive from the breeding centers this way (center workers
tend to scoop up random numbers of roaches). You are then presented with
an invoice form which lists the quantities of roaches that customers have
ordered. The first roach quantity on the invoice is for the tube on the
top, the second quantity is for the tube second from the top, and so on.
Your problem is that you can't move each roach individually from
one tube to another. Insect Fun Inc. ships only the strongest Brazilian
cockaroaches, so you don't want to pick them out by hand for fear that they
will escape. To move the roaches, you must connect the tube that you want
to move roaches from (the source tube) to the tube that you want to move
roaches to (the destination tube) with a flexible hose. By shaking the
source tube slightly, the roaches are coaxed into moving out into the hose
and then into the destination tube. As you can see, roaches will therefore
keep moving from one tube to the other until either the destination tube is
full or the source tube is empty. Use the mouse pointer to direct activity
on the computer screen. Click on the source tube and then on the
destination tube. Keep doing this until the proper quantities of roaches
are in each of the test tubes.
