A king has 1000 bottles of wine and one has been poisoned. Even a sip of the poisoned wine is enough to kill a person. The king asks the royal jailor to identify the poisoned wine bottle by testing them on the prisoners. It takes up to 24 hours for the poison to take effect. There are unlimited number of prisoners at the jailer’s disposal. What is the minimum number of prisoners the jailer needs to identify the poisoned wine bottle in 24 hours?
