Tina Path


1. **Problem statement:** Tina walks through a city grid following a path. At each square, her talking glasses tell her what is on her left, in front, and on her right. Starting at the arrow facing right, the glasses give the following sequences: - tree, road, house - road, road, lawn - tree, road, tree - road, road, road - tree, road, tree - tree, house, road - road, road, tree - house, road, tree We need to determine at which labeled square (A, B, C, D, E, or F) Tina ends up. 2. **Understanding the problem:** Tina moves forward along the path. At each step, the glasses describe the surroundings relative to her facing direction: left, front, right. 3. **Approach:** Starting at the arrow facing right, we use the sequences to deduce Tina's path and turns: - Step 1: "tree, road, house" means left is tree, front is road, right is house. She moves forward on road. - Step 2: "road, road, lawn" means left is road, front is road, right is lawn. She continues forward. - Step 3: "tree, road, tree" means trees on both sides, road ahead. - Step 4: "road, road, road" means roads on all three sides, so possibly a straight or intersection. - Step 5: "tree, road, tree" again trees on sides, road ahead. - Step 6: "tree, house, road" means left tree, front house, right road. She likely turns right here. - Step 7: "road, road, tree" means left road, front road, right tree. - Step 8: "house, road, tree" means left house, front road, right tree. 4. **Conclusion:** Following these clues on the map, Tina ends at square **D**. **Final answer:** Tina arrives at square **D**.
