The Same Problem a Different Story a Military Situation
(see Monday for Part 1 Manzano's Problem Posed 10/30/06 )
A small country was ruled from a strong fortress by a dicatator. The fortess was situated in the middle of the country surrounded by farms and villages. Many roads led to the fortress through the countryside. A rebel general vowed to capture the fortress. The general knew that an attack by his entire army would capture the fortress. He gathered his army at the head of one of the roads, ready to launch a full-scale direct attack.

However, the general then learned that the dictator had planted mines on each of the roads. The mines were set so that small bodies of men could pass over them safely, since the dictator needed to move his troops and workers to and from the fortress. However, any large force on the main road would eventually lead to the detonation of the mines. Not only would this blow up the road, but it would also destoy many neighbouring villages. It therefore seemed impossible to capture the fortress.

However, the general devised a simple plan and captured the fortress and overthrew the dictator.

What might the general's plan have been?

Similar Dilemma
So here is another look at a similar dilemma (see Monday for Part 1 Manzano's Problem Posed 10/30/06 ) . As I will point out these two analogies have an uncanning connection to my situation and I will talk to the two of them in Friday's posting, when I will touch on the oncological stuff and also connect it connects to the situation in which I find myself.

Thanks again, for reading...
