Title: FILES IN A BAG
Post by coolnfundu on Nov 7^th, 2004, 7:36am

A bag contains number of files and each file is numbered from 0 to 9 in single digits only. Now one person wants to take out a file with a random number between 1 and 2000, how many minimum files are needed? Damn easy, but what about 1 and 7000.

P.S. There maybe a trick so read again :(

And how many times should we read the above one? ::)

Until you think you have an interpretation that makes sense - or is an interesting riddle...
