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...
