Earth is an extremely unique planet in our universe. Discuss at least three things that make our planet so special. 

Of the seven other planets in our solar system, which one is most likely to support life? Why?

When a hurricane enters the coastal zone, the most devastating damage usually comes from the

What is the Coriolis Effect? How does it affect wind in the Northern Hemisphere?

Air pressure increases as you increase in altitude. 

How are the geocentric and heliocentric views different from one another? Which one do we currently support?

All Jovian (gaseous) planets have rings.

Which planet has the densest atmosphere and a runaway greenhouse gas effect?

Suppose we are sorting an array of 8 integers using quick sort, and we just finish the first partitioning with the array listed below: 3, 5, 4, 8, 9, 12, 11, 10 Select which two statements are correct.

The Erdős number describes the minimum “collaborative distance” between mathematician Paul Erdős and another person, as measured by authorship of mathematical papers. We can represent a scientific network of collaborations using a graph, G in which each person denotes a  a vertex and an edge represents if two scientists have worked on a paper together. Write a function that takes in as input the source scientific network graph, G and a scientist, S and returns the calculated Erdős number (the minimum path length from Paul Erdős to S). Return -1 if there is no path between the scientist, S and Paul Erdős. Write the function using C++ syntax or pseudocode (with minimal prose). [10 points] You can assume  Paul Erdős is already a node in the graph. Graph G (V,E) is pre-built and is an unweighted graph represented as an adjacency list or matrix.
