Pandas use the bamboo system in the image above for water. The bamboo pipes cannot be restructured and the amounts indicated are the maximum amounts of water that can flow through them. There doesn't have to flow water through each of them to work at maximum capacity. The numbers indicate the amount of liters of water that can flow through them per minute, if they are provided with that amount. The magic lake has an infinite amount of water here and provides it infinitely fast ;
Every working panda drinks 1 L of water and then produces 3 points in the next 1 hour. You can hire/fire as many pandas as you want and keep them as long as you want. You can hire new pandas later on. The water is already flowing out of the bamboo pipes once you start collecting points.
The amount of points the pandas need is decided by the following system:
Any letter is the A'th number of the alphabet, thus it gives A points. (a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d =4, ... , z = 26). If a word contains a number, the number has the same value as itself (0 = 0, 1 = 1, 2 = 2, 3 =3, …, 9 = 9) and a ‘-’ is worth nothing (- = 0).
The value of a word is the sum of all the points each letter in it scores. (baa = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4).
The value of a set of words is the product of the values of each word in the set. (baa baa = 4 x 4 = 16 and baa baa baa = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64)
The pandas want to collect the same amount of points the following sentence is worth:
"I am the fabulous [Insert your steem-name here]."
When working non-stop at maximum capacity, how long will it minimally take for the pandas to achieve their goal?
(Note that the answer will be difference for everyone, since you’ll put your steem-name in.)
