Challenge With My Professor

Hello all! I hope you are doing well.

For the records of my own memory and the sake of my website, I decided to share a challenge I was involved in against my professor in my Principles of Embedded Systems course right after I partially won the challenge. I do not know whether I would share it or not if I did not win :).

Although I like interacting with hardware (especially from a software perspective, as Linus Torvalds says), it is very clear that I am not a hardware person when taking into account the experiences I have had in my university years. To be honest, I have always been one of the students who deep-dived into the course even though it is a hardware course, so it is better to say I am more interested in software than hardware instead of I am not interested in hardware.

This was an assignment first given by the professor, and it was neither a must nor going to be credited, and the deadline was the end of the semester. That is the point where the challenge started, I claimed that we can successfully complete it today. Then, prof. and I agreed to 8 PM, which became the new deadline for the assignment for me.

Find the question below.

I do not have the solution given by the prof., but I believe the solution is correct. It is going to be evaluated by the prof. in the coming weeks. If something is wrong, then I will have to come there and inform you.

We had already solved some questions similar to this one when this one was given as an optional assignment. This one seemed complex at first look, but it is based on the same methods we learned. The only thing one needs to find a solution is to understand the underlying mechanisms of the question and the methods. Find my solution below.

I am sorry that it is not very aesthetic. I do not have good handwriting, and also do not forget, I had very limited time, so I had to be faster, which made my handwriting worse.
