52. My friend has thought of an integer between 10 and 19. To guess which number he has in mind, I can ask him questions that he will answer with "yes" or "no": What is the smallest number of questions and which specific questions can I ask to determine which number he thought of?
52. The least number of questions is three. The first question: "Is the number you are thinking of among the first four numbers (11-14)?" If the answer is "Yes," then the second question can be: "Is the number you are thinking of among the numbers 11 and 12?" If the answer is "No," then the third question can be: "Is the number you are thinking of 13?" If the answer is "No," then the number you are thinking of is 14.
