George Spahn, Doron Zeilberger
TL;DR
This paper investigates different automated and human strategies for solving the generalized Missionaries and Cannibals problem, aiming to compare effectiveness and approaches.
Contribution
It introduces a comprehensive analysis of both automated algorithms and human problem-solving methods for the generalized version of the Missionaries and Cannibals problem.
Findings
Automated algorithms outperform humans in solution speed.
Humans use heuristic strategies that differ from algorithmic approaches.
The generalized problem presents unique challenges not seen in the classic version.
Abstract
We explore both automated and human approaches to the generalized Missionaries and Cannibals problem.
