Re: Weird Pokerstove Hand
QQ makes more straights than KK.
QQ vs 45s/76s splits more pots than KK vs 45s/76s.
QQ vs 76s, 89TJ gives QQ the higher straight.

Person 100 is a spy. Everyone you ask says "spy." You waste 50 questions getting to the point where a knight has definitely called this man a spy... and now you don't have enough questions...

I had an idea that might be useful. It extends the spy pair notion.
Example, suppose we have have the following information.
