Abstract :
The noiseless case of the guessing problem is when a sequence of questions of the form Is X=x ? are posed until a YES answer determines the correct value of a random variable X with range 𝒳 ={X1, X2....} and distribution Px. Here, we assume there is a nonzero probability that the NO answer received is not the right answer, while the YES answer is noiseless.
