I think the answer is 5. To know which one is poisonous, you have to use one mouse.
How to use 3 mice achieve this goal? If all the 3 mice drink the poisonous beer, they will die first, how does the test go on? although you can let one mouse drink several beer in different time table, but if the first drinking beer is poisonous, the mouse will die, and all the other beer the mouse just drunk can not prove if poisonous. If I am wrong, please tell me , thanks!
