TED-ED: Can you solve the seven planets riddle? - Edwin F. Meyer

The video tutorial presents a problem of capturing rebels moving between seven planets. The rebels can only move to adjacent planets, while the cruiser can warp between any two planets. The challenge is to devise a search sequence to catch the rebels within 10 hours. The strategy involves simplifying the problem by focusing on a subset of planets and using the rebels' movement pattern to corner them. The solution is to search planets in a specific order, ensuring that the rebels are caught regardless of their starting position.
