what is the minimum number of tries to find the poisoned
one. Rat dies once it licks the poisoned wine.

Answer Posted / somesh bansal

Answer is 999. since it is a stack of bottles...last bottle(lowest in the stack) can be a poisonous one...poisoned bottles are randomly placed in stack...so in order to access last bottle rats have to go through all 999 bottles above it...
