There is an air base on the equator. The maximum amount of fuel that a plane can contain would be only sufficient for it to fly halfway around the world.

For at least one plane to finish a trip around the world, how many planes do you need at least?

A trip around the world!

There is an air base on the equator. The maximum amount of fuel that a plane can contain would be only sufficient for it to fly halfway around the world.

For at least one plane to finish a trip around the world, how many planes do you need at least?

Details and assumptions:
Same plane doesn't depart twice or more.
The airplanes can use their fuel until it's empty. Starting the airplane doesn't take any time.
Every plane moves at the same speed, and on the same airway.
Assume the planes and air base are dimensionless, and thus, can turn directions instantly.
The plane can only be fueled via aerial refueling, and the amount of time the process takes is negligible.
Every plane starts at the air base and must return to the air base.

Some cards from an ordinary pack of playing cards were laid out on a table with face upwards. I thought of one card there, The KING OF HEARTS. I announced that I would tell Mr. A the value and Mr. B the suit of my chosen card. I whispered to Mr. A that I had chosen a KING and whispered to Mr. B that I had chosen a HEART. Their subsequent discussion went as below:

A: “I do not know the card that was chosen”

B: “I knew you would not”

A: “I still do not know the card, but at least I can now work out its colour”

B: “Now at last I can work out what card it is”

A: “So can I”

What is the least number of cards which could be on the table?

How many of those would be Diamonds?
