You have N coins, 2 of which are radioactive. You have a radioactivity
detector which can test any subset of the coins at a time, and return the
number of radioactive coins in the group (i.e. it returns 0, 1 or 2). You have to find the radioactive coins, using not more than 10 tests. What is the largest N for which this is possible?

Still it is funny how they relate.
