8. A school decided to replace the desks in three classrooms. Each desk sits two students. Given the
number of students in each class, print the smallest possible number of desks that can be purchased.
The program should read three integers: the number of students in each of the three classes, a, b and
c respectively. In the first test there are three groups. The first group has 20 students and thus needs
10 desks. The second group has 21 students, so they can get by with no fewer than 11 desks. 11
desks is also enough for the third group of 22 students. So we need 32 desks in total.
9. H hours, M minutes and S seconds are passed since the midnight (0 ≤ H < 12, 0 ≤ M < 60, 0 ≤ S <
60). Determine the angle (in degrees) of the hour hand on the clock face right now.
10. Given integer coordinates of three vertices of a rectangle whose sides are parallel to the coordinate
axes, find the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the rectangle. In the first test the three given
vertices are (1, 4), (1, 6), (7, 4). The fourth vertex is thus (7, 6).

18. In bowling, the player starts with 10 pins at the far end of a lane. The object is to knock all the pins
down. For this exercise, the number of pins and balls will vary. Given the number of pins N and
then the number of balls K to be rolled, followed by K pairs of numbers (one for each ball rolled),
determine which pins remain standing after all the balls have been rolled. The balls are numbered
from 1 to N (inclusive) for this situation. The subsequent number pairs, one for each K represent
the start to stop (inclusive) positions of the pins that were knocked down with each role. Print a
sequence of N characters, where "I" represents a pin left standing and "." represents a pin knocked
down.
