As he is wondering how to get inside, he sees Officer Jenny patrolling the area. He explains the situation to her. Officer Jenny says she has the floor plans for the HQ, but does not know how they fit together. She hands him the floor plans for the 9 floors (shown below). When arranged correctly, it will contain a path from the Start(S) on the bottom floor, to the Finish (F) on the top floor that goes through every up and down stairway. Everytime you hit an Up stairway, you must go to the square with the same coordinate in the floor directly above you. Similarly everytime you hit an Down stairway, you must go to the square with the same coordinates in the florr directly below you. You can’t cross heavy black walls or retrace any part of your path. The cards are given the values 1-9 horizon- tally. In the final arrangement,let the card corresponding to i^(th) floor be called ci. Then, the value of [(c1*c9)+(c2*c8)+(c3*c7)+(c4*c6)+c5] is?
