Product of $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ on circle

54 Views Asked by At

We have $x_1,x_2, \ldots, x_n$ arranged in a circle, where $n\geq 3$.

Every $x_i$ belongs to $\{1,−1\}$.

We can choose arbitrarily $3$ consequent numbers and know their product.

What is the minimum number of questions to know the product of the entire circle?
