5 Linearthritis You have recently hired 128 programmers for your new high-tech startup company. Unfortunately, one of them is suffering from the feared Linearthritis disease that makes everybody near the person write slow programs. In order to identify the diseased programmer you have rented a special room that you can use to determine if the diseased programmer is with in a group of your programmers. It is extremely expensive to rent this room and the process needed to test a group is complicated (long and exhausting programming tests are necessary). Therefore you would like to minimize the number of times you have to use the room in order to find the diseased. Solve the following exercises. 5.1 Show you can find the diseased programmer using a most 7 tests. 5.2 How many tests do you need if you have n programmers instead of 128?
