For unfortunate reasons we had to visit the Zakho Emergency Teaching Hospital as a family member got sick. It was a matter of an episode of tachyarrythmia since this patient has a known paroxysmal atrial flutter diagnosis.

Introduction From the problem set specified here we are introduced to the concept of a binary bomb: A binary bomb is a program that consists of a sequence of phases. Each phase reads a line from the standard input. If the line is correct, then the phase is defused and the bomb proceeds to the next phase. Otherwise, the bomb explodes by printing “BOOM!!!” and then terminating. The bomb is defused when every phase has been defused. ...
