There are 100 boxes numbered from 1 to 100. One of the boxes contains a prize, and the host knows where it is. The viewer can send the host a batch of notes with questions that require a "yes" or "no" answer. The host shuffles the notes in the batch and answers all of them honestly without announcing the questions out loud. What is the minimum number of notes that need to be sent to definitely find out where the prize is?
