How many minimum links need to be cut in a chain having 23 links to seperate it into single links..

Answer / sridhar ramachandran

I think its 11 cuts, i cut a ring i can seperate two ring
from the chain ( suppose i cut the second ring in the chain
i get 1st ring and second ring seperated from the chain.)
(1st ring cut and second ring cut , so its easy to seperate
them apart) similarily if i cut 10 rings i will get 20
rings removed from the chain(10 rings un cut and 10 rings
cut) remaining 3 rings together if i cut the middle ring
all three rings get seperated. So, i think 11 cuts would be
the minimum number of cuts needed.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. * You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; * or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back. * However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
