SNOWGAME - Snowball Game
Farmer John's N (1 <= N <= 1018) cows went for a trip around the world. Now they are at the North Pole. They decided to play a snowball game. Each of the cows made one snowball. As it is known, heavier snowballs make more harm. FJ is sure that cows' snowballs are of the same weight except one snowball, which is heavier. FJ has one balance scale. With it he can know which of two snowball groups is heavier. Snowballs get damaged when weighed, so each snowball can take part in a weighing at most K (1 <= K <= 10000) times. Help FJ find the minimal number of weighings after which he can find the heaviest snowball.
