Puzzle 214 - "The Cable Capacity Conundrum"
21-Jun-12

Abhro, an electrical engineer, has two fuse cables of equal capacity. The capacity of a cable is the minimum current at which the cable melts and becomes useless. He knows that the capacity of these cables is something between 1 and 100 amperes. He has 100 current sources, which can supply 1 ampere, 2 amperes, 3 amperes and so on till 100 amperes respectively, to test the capacity of the cables. Find the minimum number of trials required by Abhro to check the capacity of the two cables. What could be his strategy to achieve this? (Capacity of the cables can assume any value between 1 and 100 amperes with equal probability)
