You have a flashlight that takes 2 working batteries. You have 8 batteries but only 4 of them work. What is the fewest number of pairs you need to test to guarantee you can get the flashlight on?​

Answer»

Three pairs, because there are only 4 defective batteries. If we take 3 pairs, we can assure that ATLEAST one pair will be properly FUNCTIONAL out of the other TWO (considering the worst CASE).
