The document describes a personal research notebook where an author records everyday details using unconventional numerical bases to challenge the mind. It includes a specific entry for height, encoded in a non-decimal system, and a note indicating the measurement is in centimeters. Additionally, it presents a mathematical model for calculating the energy consumption of a drone during a delivery route, requiring integration to find total energy used over a specified time.

Height: 6ft

While exploring a personal research notebook left behind by an eccentric data enthusiast, you notice
that many everyday details have been recorded in unconventional ways. The notebook’s author
believed that ordinary numbers were too easy to read and preferred encoding simple information using
alternative number systems, turning routine records into small mental challenges.

Flipping through the digital archive, you find a profile page titled “Physical Measurements.” Instead of
familiar decimal values, each entry is written in a different numerical base. A short handwritten note
explains that this was done “to keep the mind sharp.”

One particular entry catches your attention. Next to the label “Height,” a single value is written:

( 20210 ¿3
Another line clarifies that the value represents a measurement in centimeters, but offers no further
explanation

Experience of 12+ year:


A tech startup runs a fleet of drones to deliver packages across the city. Each drone’s battery drains at a
rate that depends on how long it spends flying. Specifically, the instantaneous energy consumption rate
of a drone flying at speed v km/h for t hours is modeled by:
t
E(t)=∫ (4 x +3) dx
0

where x is time in hours, and E(t)is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

One day, a drone is assigned a 2-hour delivery route across multiple neighborhoods. Using the model
above, calculate the total energy consumed by the drone during the flight.
