King " Bhai Mere " has a cellar of 1000 bottles of delightful and very expensive wine.
A neighboring queen plots to kill him and sends a servant to poison the wine. Fortunately (or say unfortunately) the king's guards catch the servant after he has only poisoned one bottle. Alas, the guards don't know which bottle but know that the poison is so strong that even if diluted 100,000 times it would still kill the king. Furthermore, it takes two days to have an effect. The king decides he will get some of the prisoners in his vast dungeons to drink the wine.
Being proficient in logic and MATH he knows he can identify the poisoned bottle and will still be able to drink the rest of the wine (999 bottles) at his anniversary party in 3 days time.

2) What is the minimum number of prisoners "Bhai Mere" has to sacrifice if he has to use minimum possible wine in the process ?

From a group of 545 contenders, a party has to select a leader. Even after holding a series of meetings, the politicians and the general body failed to reach a
consensus. It was then proposed that all 545 contenders be given a number from 1 to 545. Then they will be asked to stand on a podium in a circular arrangement, and
counting would start from the contender numbered 1. The counting would be done in a clockwise fashion. The rule is that every alternate contender would be asked to
step down as the counting continued, with the circle getting smaller and smaller, till only one person remains standing. Therefore the first person to be eliminated
would be the contender numbered 2. Q - Which position should a contender choose if he has to be the leader?
