Race 5 horses. Take the fastest 3 and race them against 2 chosen from the remainder. Repeat until there are are no remaining.
The final 3 from the last race are the fastest of the group.
races = 1 + (25 - 5)/2 = 11

Solution to Three Gods Logic Puzzle

1. Ask god A: "Would the other non-random god answer 'Ja' to the question 'Does the random god sit to your left¹?'"

=> If the answer is 'Ja', then it's false (or random), therefore NonRandom1 = C; else it's true (or random), therefore NonRandom1 = B

2. Ask gods[NonRandom1]: "Would the other non-random god answer 'Ja' to the question 'Does the random god sit to your left¹?"

Answer

The tallest prisoner counts the white hats in front of him. If odd, he calls out "white"; if even he calls out "black".

Then each prisoner down the line makes the same calculation. If the color they compute is different from what was called out before them, they know their color is "white"; if it's the same, their color is "black". They call out their color.
