Together with some anthropologists, you’re studying a sparsely populated region of a rainforest, where 50 farmers live along a 5
0-mile-long stretch of river. Each farmer lives on a tract of land that occupies a 1-mile stretch of the river bank, so their tracts exactly divide up the 50 miles of river bank that they collectively cover. (The numbers are chosen to be simple and to make the story easy to describe.)
The farmers all know each other, and after interviewing them, you’ve discovered that each farmer is friends with all the other farmers that live at most 20 miles from him or her, and is enemies with all the farmers that live more than 20 miles from him or her.

Answer:
Explanation:
Farmers are always both directly and indirectly connected to each other
Their network is mostly strong
Networks become weak only on the edges (ends) of the river but doesn't completely dimnish
With the available network length, the center of river bank forms the strongest network of all and becomes a key player in defining the balance property of overall network
The network is very well structurally balanced and we can see that through the below image
20 miles 10 20 30 40 50
See attachment file for diagram
Considering the total length of river as 50miles and and the center of the whole length will be at 25th mile. From that point, if we consider a farmer will be be having friends for a length of 20miles both along upstream and downstream.
By this he'll be in friend with people who are around 80% of the total population. As me move from this point the integrity increases and this results in a highly balanced structural network.

Answer:
// class definition of MethodPractice
public class MethodPractice {
// main method that begin program execution
public static void main(String args[]) {
// call to the planParty2 method is done using some parameter
// and the return value is displayed
System.out.println("The number of p-packs needed is: " + planParty2(9, 14, 6));
System.out.println("The number of p-packs needed is: " + planParty2(4, 6, 3));
System.out.println("The number of p-packs needed is: " + planParty2(4, 6, 4));
}
// planParty2 method with 3 parameters and it return an integer
// the calculation needed to get the required pack is done here
public static int planParty2(int f, int c, int p){
// the party owner is added to list of friend
// and the value is assigned to totalPeople
int totalPeople = f + 1;
// the totalPeople times the can drink
// is assigned to totalDrinkNeeded
int totalDrinkNeeded = totalPeople * c;
// number of packs required is declared
int numberOfPacks;
// if the totalDrinkNeeded contains exact multiple of a pack
// we return the numberOfPack by dividing totalDrinkNeeded with p
if (totalDrinkNeeded % p == 0){
return numberOfPacks = totalDrinkNeeded / p;
}
// else we compute if the totalDrinkNeeded is not a multiple of a pack
// first we get the remainder when the totalDrinkNeeded is divided with p
// then the needed can is computed by subtracting remainder from p
// the neededCan is added to totalDrinkNeeded, then divided with p
// and assigned to numberOfPacks
// numberOfPacks is returned.
else {
int remainder = totalDrinkNeeded % p;
int neededCan = p - remainder;
numberOfPacks = (totalDrinkNeeded + neededCan) / p;
return numberOfPacks;
}
}
}
