Can you save the King's party? 🍷☠️
We have 1,000 bottles of wine, and one is poisoned. We have 10 prisoners to test the wine, but the poison takes exactly 24 hours to work, and the party is tomorrow. This means we only have time for one single round of testing.
In this video, we visualize the famous "Binary Wine Riddle." We explain why testing bottles one-by-one is impossible and how to use the prisoners as a living binary code system. By assigning each prisoner a "power of 2," we can cover all 1,024 possible combinations, ensuring we find the exact poisoned bottle.
We also walk through a specific solution where prisoners A, C, E, G, and I die, revealing that Bottle #341 is the culprit. Finally, we show you how to write a Python script to automate this logic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analogy for the Viewer: Think of the prisoners like the odometer on a car, but in binary. Every specific combination of deaths points to one specific "mile" marker—which is the bottle number.
