    _____________________________________________

    A flashlight takes 2 (working) batteries.

    There are 8 batteries (on the Table), but some of them may be Dead (and Non-Conducting).

    To guarantee that the flashlight gets turned on, what is the minimum number of battery pairs you need to test ?
