Abstract

Description

Ulam asked for the maximum number of questions required to determine an integer between one and one million by asking questions whose answer is `Yes' or `No' and where one untruthful answer is allowed. Pelc showed that the number of questions required is 25. Here we give a simple proof of this result.
