:) ive developed an immunity to iocane powder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have seen this before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very similar one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has something to do with binary counting from memory

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have 1000 bottles , so all need to do is find the smallest power of 2 that is greater than 1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^n >1000 solve that for n , and n is the number of prisoners

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically , each bottle can be represented by a binary number, a string of 0's and 1's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and to get 1000 different binary codes you need 10bits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first prisoner drinks from all the bottles ( and takes care of the first bit ) , the second drinks from all and takes care of the second bit of the code etc
