Iron Man and Bruce Banner are trapped by the evil THANOS .In their cells Iron Man can see 12 trees and Bruce banner can see 8 trees.They are told that together they can see all the trees in prison and the dont see a common Tree.No one knows the no of trees other person can see. Every day Thanos visits iron man and asks "Are their 18 trees or 20 trees in total ?'If he passes the question to bruce,then bruce is asked the same question.If he passes the question too,Process is repeated the next day.If anyone answers and he answers wrongly,Both of them are killed by thanos using his infinity gauntlet .If one answers correctly,Both are set free!!!! Q-On which day they both escape? Note-if u think they cant escape ,Enter your answer as 998.324 If the no of days is x t h e n t h e a n s w e r i s ( l o g x ) 2 . I f ( l o g x ) 2 i s a n i n t e g e r t h e n a n s w e r i s x + 0.324 x\quad then\quad the\quad answer\quad is\quad (logx)^{ 2 }.If\quad (logx)^{ 2 }\quad is\quad an\quad integer\quad then\quad answer\quad is\quad x+0.324 Here log base 10 is to be taken


The answer is 0.4885.

If Iron could seee 20 trees and Bruce 0, he would answer on the first day because 18 in total would be impossible. If Iron could seee 18 trees and Bruce 2, he would answer on the second day because if Bruce had 0 trees he would answer immediatly. If Iron could seee 12 trees and Bruce 8, he would answer on the 5th day.

This doesn’t make sense, as both iron man and hulk know that the other side cannot have more than a certain number of possibilities. Iron man has 12 so he knows that hulk has 6 or 8 and hulk knows that iron man can have 10 or 12. The first day, iron man will say that he doesn’t know and so will hulk. But on the second day, iron man knows that if hulk had 6 he would have answered. So he knows that hulk has 8. He knows that he has 12 so he will answer 20.

either way they cant escape because to escape only ONE of them can answer correctly but if only one of them are correct the other is wrong so they both get killed
