Thursday Puzzle: CUK Autumn Party

[BrilloPad]

A quick google shows the answer. You should have changed the story away from bottles of wine...

Cheers! For that, would you like a cheesy nibble?

I don't un derstand why the answer is not 999?

.

Because its a slow action poison. Suity would have chosen quick action instant kill but MF is a bit more crafty.

[BrilloPad]

Maybe but googling kinda defeats the object.

Yes. But I am getting too old to think about these things. And its the sort of stuff that sometimes comes up at interview. This 1000 bottle was a new one on me so much appreciated.

[Pondlife]

Anyone still playing who hasn't googled then?

[Doggy Styles]

I reckon 10 as well.

Not sure I'm right but I thought I'd been fairly clever - until I saw all those who got there before me.

Edit: Not googled

How many people are coming to the party, because if it's less than 500 then we only need one tester & everyone gets a bottle of wine!!!

That doesn't work does it.

Of course it does!! The tester tries 500 bottles. If he dies the poison is in the 500 sample set!!! If he lives, that 500 sample set is OK!!! Either way, you send the batch with poison in back to the suppliers and get a refund!!! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!!!!

Ah, got you. Fine, I suggest you start quickly as we're all waiting now.

Presumably sas has already worked out the answer and is at the party being waited on by andyw.

It appears as though the self proclaimed "special one" required the use of google to work it out.
