Problem

An evil king has n bottles of wine, and a spy has just poisoned one of them. Unfortunately, they don't know which one it is. The poison is very deadly; just one drop diluted even a billion to one will still kill. Even so, it takes a full month for the poison to take effect. Design a scheme for determining exactly which one of the wine bottles was poisoned in just one month's time while expending O(logn) taste testers.
