He has unlimited resources and an unlimited budget and is willing to spend any amount to get the job done. He has chosen to build the tower with blocks that are 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, but only 1 meter tall. The blocks interlock on top and bottom (like legos). They cannot be stacked sideways. Using special lifters, putting one stack on top of another stack takes one week regardless of how high the stacks are. · Use something like legos, checker pieces, or a graph to help solve this problem. · Start with a smaller tower of 5 or 10—solve a smaller problem. · Extend that knowledge to the larger problem. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 16: February 27** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 15: February 25** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 14: February 21** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 13: February 19** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 12: February 14** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 11: February 12** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 10: February 10** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 9: February 6** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 8: February 4** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 7: January 31** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 6: January 29** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 5: January 27** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 4: January 23** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 3: January 21** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 2: January 16** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Day 1: January 14**
