since you need 10 digits to represent 1000 numbers in binary , you will need 10 prisoners . now the logic is this : every bottle has a unique number from 1 to 1000 and a unique binary representation from 0000000001 to 1111101000 . now you have 10 prisoners . each bottle will be tasted by the prisoners depending on the ...
