The three fastest horses:
A horse farmer takes you to his track and asks you to find the 3 fastest horses out of the 25 he owns. There are three parameters/givens to this test:
- Regardless of how many times you run them, the horses are relatively consistent - meaning if horse "A" is faster than horse "B" in one race, he is ALWAYS faster than Horse "B".
- You can't use a stop watch
- You can only race five horses at a time on the track.
What is the minimum number of races you need to run to find horses 1,2, and 3, and how do you set them up?
