    Application Logic
AI Thread Summary
The application features four screens, each displaying numbers and asking users if their age is among them. Users respond with "Yes" or "No," which narrows down the possibilities. The logic appears to rely on binary testing, where each answer eliminates a portion of potential ages. However, the current setup may not provide enough information to accurately determine a user's age within just four screens, as it leaves multiple possibilities remaining. Additional queries may be necessary for the algorithm to function effectively.

Here i attached some mobile application screenshots
I want to know the logic of this application

1:- It have four screens and every screen have numbers.
2:-Application asked on every screen "Do you Know your age is here in these numbers".
3:-If i see the number is on the screen then i pressed "Yes" otherwise press "NO".
4:-This procedure repeat 4 times and application fined out the number or age that is in my mind.

Help me the Logic of this Application using Math.

It would be helpful if we had access to all four screens so that we could compare and figure out how the algorithm is operating. One and a half screens are not enough.

Also, the links to the attachments are irrelevant to this question.

It seems to be a binary test. Each yes/no answer provides only one bit of information, which trims any list down to a 16th of the original list. From a list of 100, that still leaves 6-7 values after 4 pages. Don't see how it can work without 3 more queries.

Seems to me you get more than one bit's worth of info per screen but not enough to do it in 4 screens.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
