person tastes very little he will die within 14 hours so if
there are mice to test and 24 hours, how many mices are
required to find the poisoned can?
Answer Posted / mahender reddy lakkadi
1 mice & 14hrs 28mins are enough to get the result...
At 1st min the mice tastes 1st can & dies at 14hr
At 2nd min the mice tastes 2nd can & dies at 14hr.1Min
At 3rd min the mice tastes 3rd can & dies at 14hr.2Min
.

.
At 29th min the mice tastes 29th can & dies at 14hr.28Min
If the mice is till alive after 14hr.28Min then the poison will be in the 30th Can....
So no death and result achieved in the last case...
