Say there are 100 prisoners numbered 1 to 100. Slips of paper containing each of their numbers are randomly placed in 100 boxes in a sealed room. One at a time, each prisoner is allowed to enter the room and open any 50 of the 100 boxes, searching for their number. And afterwards, they must leave the room exactly as they found it, and they can't communicate in any way with the other prisoners. If all 100 prisoners find their own number during their turn in the room, they will all be freed. But if even one of them fails to find their number, they will all be executed. The prisoners are allowed to strategize before any of them goes into the room. So what is their best strategy?

There are four weights. One of them is large and heavy, the second is smaller and lighter, the third is even smaller and lighter, and the fourth is the smallest and lightest. The weights are placed on the scales in turn (each time any of the weights is taken and placed on any cup of the scales). Is it possible, not knowing the exact weight of the weights, to put them all on the scales one by one in such an order that first three times the left cup is outweighed, and the last time the right one?
