458. Poor Pigs

There are 1000 buckets, one and only one of them contains poison, the rest are filled with water. They all look the same. If a pig drinks that poison it will die within 15 minutes. What is the minimum amount of pigs you need to figure out which bucket contains the poison within one hour.

Answer this question, and write an algorithm for the follow-up general case.

Follow-up:

If there are n buckets and a pig drinking poison will die within m minutes, how many pigs (x) you need to figure out the "poison" bucket within p minutes? There is exact one bucket with poison.

N个桶，一只猪喝了会在minutesToDie分钟内死亡，你有minutesToTest分钟的时间，求最少要多少猪试出毒药

如果有4个桶，15分钟死亡，有15分钟的时间，用二进制对桶编号

00      01    10      11

__      _A     B_     BA

0表示没喝

1表示喝了

_表示没喝   如果A挂了，B没挂，则是01桶   最少要2只猪

如果有8个桶，15分钟死亡，有30分钟的时间，用3进制对桶编号，并且有2轮测试

0表示两轮都不喝

1表示第一轮喝，第二轮不喝

2表示第一轮不喝，第二轮喝

最后推出公式为（测试次数+1）^x >= 桶数     求x的最小整数值

C++(2ms):

 class Solution {
 public:
     int poorPigs(int buckets, int minutesToDie, int minutesToTest) {
         return ceil(log(buckets)/log(minutesToTest/minutesToDie +)) ;
     }
 };
