>There are 25 horses and a single race track. The track has 5 lanes. Your job is to find the fastest 3 horses assuming you don't have a stopwatch and all horses always run at a constant pace. What’s the way to find the fastest 3 in the fewest uses of the track.
It's not specified that one lane = one horse, so... release all horses at once, pick the top 3 :)

- vonskippy 13y agoShoot 22 horses - the last three left alive will be the fastest.
