(Figure 1)
There are nine clocks in a 3*3 array (figure 1). The goal is to return all the dials to 12 o'clock with as few moves as possible. There are nine different allowed ways to turn the dials on the clocks. Each such way is called a move. Select for each move a number 1 to 9. That number will turn the dials 90' (degrees) clockwise on those clocks which are affected according to figure 2 below.
Move Affected clocks
1 ABDE
2 ABC
3 BCEF
4 ADG
5 BDEFH
6 CFI
7 DEGH
8 GHI
9 EFHI
(Figure 2)
Input
Your program is to read from standard input. Nine numbers give the start positions of the dials. 0=12 o'clock, 1=3 o'clock, 2=6 o'clock, 3=9 o'clock.
Output
Your program is to write to standard output. Output a shortest sorted sequence of moves (numbers), which returns all the dials to 12 o'clock. You are convinced that the answer is unique.
Sample Input
3 3 0 2 2 2 2 1 2
Sample Output
4 5 8 9

这题用位运算+BFS过的,效率不是很高,但是毕竟过了。网上利用数论的mod和矩阵运算有更快的方法,这个留着以后有时间再研究了
思路比较简单,关键是位运算,由于一共有9个clock,每个clock最多4种状态因此每个clock可以用2bit来表示,9个clock一共需要
18bit来表示,0-1位表示第一个clock的状态,2-3位表示第二个clock的状态,一次类推,这样一共需要2 ^ 18 - 1 = 262143种状态
