My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

Recently, Snow White's seven dwarfs met up with three of their friends and went to the cinema to see Bambi. From the clues below, can you determine the order in which they stood in the ticket queue?

Grumpy was in front of Dopey. Stumpy was behind Sneezy and Doc. Doc was in front of Droopy and Happy. Sleepy was behind Stumpy, Smelly and Happy. Happy was in front of Sleepy, Smelly and Bashful. Bashful was behind Smelly, Droopy and Sleepy. Sneezy was in front of Dopey. Smelly was in front of Grumpy, Stumpy and Sneezy. Dopey was in front of Droopy. Sleepy was in front of Grumpy and Bashful. Dopey was behind Sneezy, Doc and Sleepy. Stumpy was in front of Dopey. Smelly was behind Doc.

WELL, ANY TAKERS?

Some guessing involved...

I'll post it so that everyone can see.

I believe that the number would have to be 25, to keep in Weedy's proportion of the 1 piece of land, and isn't 16 according to the question setter person.

So, Rastus's time proportion can't be TOO out of league with the triplet's.
If they had 4 bits of land, Rastus would have 12, which is WAY out of proportion. If the triplets had 6 each, Rastus would have 6, so I guessed that it was 5 and 9.

Paint white lines on the road, and as the robotic car drives along it, it shines a light from a torch onto it. The white colour reflects the light back onto an LDR on the underside of the car, if the light isn't recveived, then the car would stop.

As close as I can get.

Nooooo.... it can't be?

It looked so good in the proof. Which obviously now has an error in it somewhere.

Right, sod the essay. I'm going to solve this.

Oh, by the way, here's another problem from anyone: How would use you about using evolutionary computation techniques to navigate a robotic car on a motorway? (The answer may or may not be related to my essay :D)
