Guessing game - I pick a number between 1 and 100 and you are trying to guess it. Every time you query a number I tell you if it is higher or lower. Part 1- Write the code of it, if cost of querying a number is equal. Part 2- How about if cost of querying number x is x? How would you change the algorithm?

Suppose you have an arbitrarily connected graph with n nodes. Come up with an algorithm to identify each set of connected nodes (i.e. identify all the islands in the graph). What's the complexity? Can you find a solution in O(n log n)?
