A king is throwing a party in 24 hours and has 1000 bottles of wine. But alas, 10 enemy bandits break into his wine cellar! The king's guards catch the spies, but only after they have poisoned 1 bottle of wine. No one knows which bottle of wine was poisoned, and the poison is such that any amount of poison will kill whoever drinks it in exactly 24 hours. The king has a plan! He will use the 10 bandits (who were going to be executed anyways) to find exactly which bottle of wine was poisoned.

What is the kings plan?
