What is the “age of original jurisdiction” in juvenile courts?

Juvenile offenders are considered to be in the class of “special” offenders. Using elements from the definition of what constitutes a “special offender” explain why juveniles are considered to be special offenders. Your answer must be FOUR SENTENCES OR MORE. 

Below is a partial game tree, where it is the maximizer’s turn to play, and the game does not involve randomness. Maximizer nodes  are represented by red circles, minimizer nodes by blue circles, and terminal nodes by blue squares. The utility value for terminal nodes is provided inside them, and higher scores are better for the maximizer. Apply the alpha-beta pruning algorithm while expanding deeper nodes first and breaking ties from left to right to discover which nodes can be pruned. Provide a list of pruned nodes as your final answer (e.g., [A, B, C]). For terminal nodes, use numbers 1 to 8, with 1 representing the leftmost node and 8 being the rightmost one.

A Rubik’s cube is a 3D combination puzzle invented in 1974. Each side has 9 colored panels (left image below), and an internal pivot mechanism enables each side to turn independently (center image below), thus mixing up the colors. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must have all panels with the same color (right image below). Suppose you are given the state of an unsolved Rubik’s cube. Which search algorithm would you use to solve it? Why? And how? You do not have to show the algorithm running, just explain how it would be used to solve the problem above.

Connect Four is a game in which the players choose a color and then take turns dropping colored tokens into a six-row, seven-column vertically suspended grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the lowest available space within the column. The objective of the game is to be the first to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four of one’s own tokens. The image below depicts a game won by the player with the red pieces. If you use Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to implement an AI agent to play this game, you will need a Playout policy. It is very important that this policy is not random, since it does not model a realistic opponent and makes MCTS struggle to identify critical game-ending scenarios. Please outline a Playout policy for the Connect Four game that is not completely random.

Assume you have a robot navigating in the maze above, where wall are represented by bold lines. The robot position can be described as (row,column,orientation), where row is a letter from A to F, column is a number from 1 to 6, and orientation is one of {up, down, left, right}. The robot has two sensors that measure its distance to the closest wall in the front (orientation) and back (opposite of orientation) directions, respectively. These sensors produce noiseless measurements, which are integers representing the number of maze cells that are traversed to reach the closest wall. For instance, if a robot is in position (D,3,up), the measurements are 3 for the front and 0 for the back directions. If the robot is in position (A,4,left), the measurements are 0 for the front and 2 for the back directions. Knowing that the robot is in the position (F,1,down), which other positions in the maze would produce the same measurement?    

What is the path returned by Greedy Best-First Search (GBFS) from the start state S to the goal state F? Use alphabetical order to break ties in expansion priority. Assume that GBFS has no memory of previously expanded nodes, so it can expand the same node multiple times. Please explain your work for partial credit consideration.
