Category: Programming Points: 400 Author: Description:

Decrypt Aldrich Killian City Map:

#Problem Statement Iron Man is inside city of Aldrich Killian. Iron Man has got hold of the city map, however, the city map is encrypted with a key. Without decryption of the city map, it is impossible to catch Aldrich Killian. As Aldrich Killian is also a algorithm lover, he has obfuscated the key using the following problem.

Consider a character set of size m, M = {a, b, c .. A, C, ... 1, 2..}. How many words of exactly length n, call it F, you can construct, assuming that each word will not use same character at two different places?

For example, consider M = {a, b, c} and n = 3

  1. aba, bbc are not allowed.
  2. abc, bac, cab are allowed

In order to make it more challenging, each position in the word can have only predefined characters in M. Iron Man has got following image as a clue.

Get the Flag. Flag is (F mod 1000000007)
