Pseudocode Using Selection Statements - Quiz
1. Silvester and Tweety are friends. Bender was one of the
Silvester's enemy. One day Silvester and Tweety went on to a
trip. Bender planned to kidnap Tweety.. He kidnapped and kept
her in one of the hot balloons tied up to a height. There were 50
hot balloons numbered from one. Each balloon will fly to a certain
height. Only the numbers having both 3 and 7 as its factors can
fly upto the height of the Tweety's balloon. Silvester was confused
and he didn't know which numbered balloon can fly to Tweety.
(Note: If balloon number is greater than 50, or balloon number
less than 1, then it should display invalid balloon number)

Eg: Balloon's number:42

This balloon can fly to Tweety.

Eg:Enter the Balloon's number:24

This balloon cannot fly to Tweety.

statement.
Problem Statement :
Hide and Seek
One day, Bunny and his friends were playing hide and seek in the
forest. Tom went along to hide. He finds an abandoned bag
containing a board(8x8) game in a cave. He gets excited and
starts playing the game only to realizes that it's magical. He has
three chances to roll the dice. Each turn's outcome will lead into a
new surrounding and some would be dangerous. If the outcome
of rolling dices is in multiples of 3 then he will be caught in a
dangerous phase.
Note if any one outcome is multiple of 3, then tom is in danger.
(If the outcome of rolling dices is either 0 or less than that you
should tell Tom as "Invalid Turn". )
