A 12-year footballer Lavy was offered a contract
with a club name "Flyball" that if he will practice
1 hour extra after school he will be offered 11$
after every week.
Lavy, however, suggested an alternative paid
method in which
He will be paid just a penny on his first day.
Two pence will be paid on the second day,
Four pence will be paid on the third day.
And so on till 11th day.

Should the club accept the offer of Lavy?

Solution

10 prisoners must sample the wine. Bonus points if
you worked out a way to ensure than no more
than 8 prisoners die.

Number all bottles using binary digits. Assign
each prisoner to one of the binary flags.
Prisoners must take a sip from each bottle
where their binary flag is set.
Here is how you would find one poisoned bottle
out of eight total bottles of wine.

Bottle 1 Bottle 2 Bottle 3 Bottle 4 Bottle 5 Bottle
6 Bottle 7 Bottle 8
Prisoner A X X X X
Prisoner B X X X X
Prisoner C X X X X
In the above example, if all prisoners die, bottle
8 is bad. If none die, bottle 1 is bad. If A & B
dies, bottle 4 is bad.
With ten people there are 1024 unique
combinations so you could test up to 1024
bottles of wine.

Each of the ten prisoners will take a small sip
from about 500 bottles. Each sip should take no
longer than 30 seconds and should be a very
small amount. Small sips not only leave more
wine for guests. Small sips also avoid death by
alcohol poisoning. As long as each prisoner is
administered about a millilitre from each bottle,
they will only consume the equivalent of about
one bottle of wine each.

Each prisoner will have at least a fifty percent
chance of living. There is only one binary
combination where all prisoners must sip from
the wine. If there are ten prisoners then there
are ten more combinations where all but one
prisoner must sip from the wine. By avoiding
these two types of combinations you can ensure
no more than 8 prisoners die.
This answer makes no sense. There are only 1000 bottles of wine
And what do you mean by binary flags?

Club's proposal:$11

His proposal will earn him:

1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512+1024= 2047 pence

Since 100 pence = 1 dollar

2047 pence =$20.47

The club should stick to $11 every week since Lavy's proposal will cost them almost twice their proposal

A man is trying to climb over a frozen mountain
that is sixty feet high. Every minute, he can climb
3 feet, but due to the slippery ice, he slips back 2
feet.

How long will it take him to reach the top of the
mountain?

A square island comprised of a square castle. A
14m wide trench surrounded the island from
everywhere. Roman Empire wanted to invade the
castle and gain the loot as well as possession of
the island. They brought along wooden planks to
cross the trench. However, they realized that the
planks were just 13m long.

How did they use those planks to invade as well
as capture the island ?
