Carl knows that water moves through different kinds of soil at different rates. how easily water moves through a soil is known as permeability. carl decides to compare the permeabilities of different soil types. to do this, carl takes five identical flower pots with holes in the bottom and fills each one with different soil: rocky, gravely dirt from the side of the road potting soil from the store clay soil from a nearby creek sand from a store dirt from his own backyard carl pours one liter of water into each pot and measures how much water flows out of the bottom in one minute.

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e. g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.
