Answer Posted / amit
the answer is 9 races
let the horses be raced as -
race 1 - 1-5
race 2 - 6-10
race 3 - 11-15
race 4 - 16-20
race 5 - 21-25
in race 6, the winners of the 5 racs run, so we get to know
the fastest
the 2nd placed horse from the original race of the winner
can be the 2nd fastest or the 2nd placed horse from race 6
can be the 2nd fastest, so these 2 run in race 7. also for
the 3rd fastest, besides these 2 above horses, the 3rd
placed horse from the original race of the winner can be
the 3rd fastest, the 3rd placed horse from race 6 can be
the 3rd fastest or the 2nd placed horse from the original
race of 2nd finisher in race 6 can be the 3rd fastest. this
gets us the 5 horses which will run in race 7 and we will
get to know the 2nd & 3rd fastest horses
there will be 4 more horses which we will check for being
the 4th fastest, which run the race 8 and 5 more horses
which we check for being the 5th fastest, which run the
race 9 and after race 9, we get the top 5 fastest horses
