Alexandr Saprykin:

If you go by Dahl's dictionary - does a cow walk on all fours? Walks on all fours?

According to Dahl's Dictionary -- "fours or fours are the four legs, the paws of animals" (Dahl's Dictionary, vol. 4, p. 550)

[Pavel Gotkevitch]

Alexandr Saprykin:

A cave. Or the Little House from the fairy tale "The Tower" .

"No windows, no doors - the house is full of people".
Neither the cucumber, nor the watermelon, nor the cave and the house do not fit here - there are no people.
Most likely it's a guesthouse for migrant workers or homeless people.

Well, in the problem with files (36 files, 2 folders, 7308MB) the initial conditions are not complete.
An adequate answer in such and similar problems could be: "Because gladiolus!" (KVN team "Ural Dumplings").

I also paid attention to this article, but it describes the problem, but doesn't give me a hint how to approach the task.

I've been "developing" this topic for a couple of years now. With varying success. :) I've started to write something on the blog. In a nutshell - information is always random, otherwise it's not information.
