Question 100

We have four charged batteries, four uncharged batteries and a radio which needs two charged batteries to work.
Suppose we don't know which batteries are charged and which ones are uncharged. Find the least number of attempts sufficient to make sure the radio will work. An attempt consists in putting two batteries in the radio and check if the radio works or not.
