Nope, it'd need less. Each person can try a couple :yes:

But if a person tried two bottles, how would they know which one was poisoned?

I thought of that but then you wouldn't have enough time to test the remainder....else 500 wouldn't be enough.

It's a contrived problem considering how rare wine was in medieval Japan.

Two people drink until they throw up :tongue: If they only need a sip surely it wouldn't take that much time!

I'm sorry... I was just trying to make the question more interesting :frown:

But you're right about the time problem, there would only be time for one set of runs.

I will say that there are no wording errors. The situation doesn't really matter. Basically, you have to find which 1 of the 1000 bottles is poisoned, you have any possible number of people to use for this, what is the lowest number you can use?

And what is the max. number of people that will definitely die using this method?

I know there are no wording errors. the number of people that'll definitely die is 1.

I think it's like >20 people. It's feeling not a calculation :tongue: I have history to do :moon:
