My dad once told me that he had to find the circuit breaker that corresponded to a particular wire and because we have around 60 circuit breakers in our house, he had to flick one off, run down and check the wire, run back up, flick the next circuit breaker off, and do that quite a lot of times.

In that moment, I got to explain binary search to him and he was genuinely interested. 🙃

My friend has some upcoming electrical work in his house, can you explain how to use binary search in this instance so I can tell him?

Turn off half the breakers. See if you still have power where you need to go. That will tell you which half it's on. Turn off half of those breakers, repeat.
