Genius IQ Test: Solution

The best strategy for finishing 3 bottles of milk within 24 hours and finding the poisonous bottle is as follows:

As mentioned in the picture, one of the bottles of milk is poisonous, but we don’t know which one.

And also, a rat is there which can be fed milk to test which one is poisonous. Another criteria mentioned is that the poison takes effect in 10 hours.

So, the best way to find which bottle is poisonous and also to drink 3 milk bottles in 24 hours is to feed the rat with milk from one bottle every 1 hours. In this way if the rat dies after 10 hours then the first bottle is poisonous.

If it does not die, you can drink the milk.

Similary, follow the process for the other two bottles. If the rat dies after 11 hours then the second bottle is poisonous, if it dies in 12 hours, the third bottle is poisonous.

However, if the rat doesn’t die even after 12 hours, then the fourth bottle is poisonous and you need not test further.

That was some mind twisting puzzle, right?
