Puzzle #240 - "A Real High Record"
20-Dec-12
Paul Walter wants to break Sergey Bubka’s world record of 6.14 m in the men’s pole vault. He is to achieve this feat in a widely publicised event. He aspires to clear a height of 6.63 m. He starts at 6.14 m and is allowed to keep attempting to jump higher till he fails twice. He is not allowed to place the bar higher than any height that he fails attaining. He can choose to place the bar at any height from 6.14 m to 6.63 m. The minimum allowed increment in height is 1 cm. How can he choose the heights at which he places the bar in order to set the best record in the minimum number of attempts?
(Note: Assume that Paul has a fixed, but unknown height, which he achieves in each jump).
