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 / amarish

In my view....
answer will be 29...

REASON is....
if u test for 1 mouse, u hv to wait for 14 hours to check
whether it is poisoned or not.

Now since u hv only 24 hours to check, so u hv to employ
mice at first time u can't go for further checking....
