Question
In 2009, Tero et al. grew a slime mold that optimally linked the nodes of one of these networks around Tokyo. For 10 points each:
[10e] Harry Beck designed an iconic circuit-diagram-style map of what sort of network in London with nodes like Piccadilly Circus and King’s Cross?
ANSWER: transit system [accept specific types of transit system like train, subway, metro, railway network, or underground; accept the Tube]
[10h] Tero found that the slime-mold rail network rated highly in this ability, and so would be robust to disruptions. In systems engineering, this two-word term refers to an ability to maintain operation despite component failure.
ANSWER: fault tolerance [or word forms like fault tolerant]
[10m] In 2022, Kay et al. used a slime mold model to propose disruption-robust networks for the Toronto subway and one of these places. The first American monorail and the first permanent PeopleMover opened at these places.
ANSWER: amusement parks [or theme parks; accept Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or Canada’s Wonderland; reject “world’s fair” or “expo”]
