Abstract
Picture yourself as a lab technician during a pandemic, faced with a critical challenge. Resources are scarce, and you need to identify which one of the 15 samples is contaminated with a virus. The catch? You have only 4 test tubes at your disposal, and you want to filter out negative samples using only these 4 test tubes in the most efficient manner. Can you detect the ‘poisoned’ sample?
