The King and the Poison

The treasurer's plan was to drink a weak poison prior to the meeting with the king, and then he would drink the pharmacist's strong poison, which would neutralize the weak poison. As his own poison he would bring water, which will have no effect on him, but the pharmacist who would drink the water, and then his poison would surely die. When the pharmacist figured out this plan, he decided to bring water as well. So the treasurer who drank poison earlier, drank the pharmacist's water, then his own water, and died of the poison he drank before. The pharmacist would drink only water, so nothing will happen to him. And because both of them brought the king water, he didn't get a strong poison like he wanted.

Murder!!!

Ans : 16 Name the 10 people with letters: A, B, C, ... and so on. A through F each call any one of G, H, I, or J (it doesn't matter which one). That makes six calls so far. Then G calls H and I calls J, after which G calls I and H calls J. Now we've used 10 calls, and G, H, I, and J all know everything. Finally, each of A through F is called by someone in G through J - 6 more calls to get everyone knowing everything. 16 calls in all.
