Police want to arrest on the famous criminals of the country whose name is Kaiser. Kaiser is in one of the streets of a square shaped city with $ n$ vertical streets and $ n$ horizontal streets. In the following cases how many police officers are needed to arrest Kaiser? [img]http://i38.tinypic.com/2i1icec_th.png[/img] [img]http://i34.tinypic.com/28rk4s3_th.png[/img] a) Each police officer has the same speed as Kaiser and every police officer knows the location of Kaiser anytime. b) Kaiser has an infinite speed (finite but with no bound) and police officers can only know where he is only when one of them see Kaiser. Everybody in this problem (including police officers and Kaiser) move continuously and can stop or change his path.
