An evil king has n bottles of wine, and a spy has just poisoned one of
them. Unfortunately, they do not 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(log n) taste testers.
