Consider the set S={0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14}.  Suppose you construct a subset of S by drawing elements randomly from S without replacement.  

What is the minimum number of elements this subset must contain such that you can guarantee that at least one pair of elements in the subset sums to 18?

Suppose you have a stack S containing n elements and a queue Q that is initially empty. Write a program in which you can use Q to scan S to see if it contains a certain element x, with the additional constraint that your algorithm must return the elements back to S in their original order. You may only use S, Q, and a constant number of other primitive variables
