Describe an algorithm that could be used to solve the Tee
Puzzle. In this puzzle, the board consists of a 5 sided triangle
full of golf tees. One hole is empty. You can jump a tee over an
adjacent tee as long as it lands into an empty hole. The jumped tee
is removed. The goal is to have one tee remaining.

It is known that the mean time to solve the puzzle in healthy
control children is 60 seconds. Carry out the Wilcoxon signed-rank
test on these data to test the null hypothesis that the mean time
to solve the puzzle for children with NF1 is the same as for
healthy controls.
a) Calculate the value of the test statistic and give the
approximate normal distribution of the test statistic under the
null hypothesis.
b) Calculate the p-value for the test...
