Four teams take part in a week-long tournament in which every team plays every other team twice, and each team plays one game per day. The diagram below on the left shows the final scoreboard, part of which has broken off into four pieces, as shown on the diagram below on the right. These pieces are printed only on one side. A black circle indicates a victory and a white circle indicates a defeat. Which team wins the tournament?



Diagram for question above.



I have tried solving this problem as a puzzle, trying to fit in the pieces. I get the answer as D. ... Is 'D' the correct answer? ... Please advise.

There are two ways to dissect the remaining polyomino into the pieces displayed:
enter image description here

Since this is a tournament where every day each team plays one game, there are two games played each day, and hence two wins and two losses.

We can first fill out the bottom J-tetromino. The 2x3 box above it must have a differing number of wins represented in the two columns it sits in, so the J-tetromino must be the top left one, as those two columns have one win and one loss. This lets us also fill the other tetromino as all of its rotations are distinct. We are now at:
enter image description here

The U-pentomino also has distinct orientations, so we can place it too. Finally the 2x3 box's orientation is determined by the J-tetromino that we just placed:
enter image description here

In both scenarios, team C wins (in the upper one, it has 4 wins, and in the bottom it has 5 wins)

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana

Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet.
