1073 - Glenbow Museum

The famous Glenbow Museum in Calgary is Western Canada's largest museum, with exhibits ranging from art to cultural history to mineralogy. A brand new section is being planned, devoted to brilliant computer programmers just like you. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, the museum is going to have to build a brand new building and relocate into it.

The size and capacity of the new building differ from those of the original building. But the floor plans of both buildings are orthogonal polygons. An orthogonal polygon is a polygon whose internal angles are either 90° or 270°. If 90° angles are denoted as R (Right) and 270° angles are denoted as O (Obtuse) then a string containing only R and O can roughly describe an orthogonal polygon. For example, a rectangle (Figure 1) is the simplest orthogonal polygon and it can be described as RRRR (the angles are listed in counter-clockwise
