+ Show Spoiler + 100 jars 10 x 10 would be 12345678910 11xxxxxxxxx 12xxxxxxxxx 13xxxxxxxxx 14xxxxxxxxx 15xxxxxxxxx 16xxxxxxxxx 17xxxxxxxxx 18xxxxxxxxx 19xxxxxxxxx 20xxxxxxxxx So each rat would drink 10, but if one got sick you could tell from the way the other rats who drank the same column/row.. So if you did the same with 100 x 10 it would make 110 rats. EDIT: Sqrt of 1000 ~=32 so if you manage a 32 x 32 grid and you have 64 rats. ? | ||

eg with 3 jars, you could create mixtures 12, 23, 13, and feed each to 3 rats. Based on which rats die, the culprit should be identifiable. | ||

One rat will die and eliminate 500 jars. Then divide the remaining 500 into two groups of 250 and so on. The rat that doesnt die gets recycled for the next cycle. So we have: first two rats: 500 jars left one more rat: 250 left one more rat: 125 left one more rat: 63 left one more rat: 32 left one more rat: 16 left one more rat: 8 left one more rat: 4 left one more rat: 2 left one more rat: jar is identified, one rat stays alive, 11 used in all Does that work with the time limit? It takes 2-3 hours for the poison to work you have 3 hours. | ||

 A better formulation may have been that you are allowed to feed each rat only one bowl of milk (in which you then could mix), then you wouldnt have the confusion on the instantaneous milk-mixing.  And cuter things like bunnies wouldnt work very well, since people would just find a safe sort of milk and keep feeding the bunnies (from the infinite amount of milk) and cuddle with them. | ||
