Solution:

Sucre : 1 cupcake
T-Bag : 2 cupcakes
Burrows: 3 cupcakes
Scofield : 5 cupcakes

Explanation :
It's obvious if the prisoner has eaten 5 or more cupcakes than he will not ask this question "did you had more cupcakes than me?" as it will make him the person who had eaten maximum cupcakes.
A) Sucre : Must not have eater 5 cupcakes, therefore he has eaten anywhere between 1-4 cupcakes.

B) T-bag : Since sucre asked him the question T-bag knows sucre have eaten between 1 - 4 cupcakes, and therefore he must have eaten 2 to 4 cupcakes(it can't be 1 else he will reply answer as "No".)

C) Burrows : Replied with the answer as "I don't know and based on logic B) he knows T-bag must have eaten at least 2 and he replied no which implies that he must be eaten 3 or 4.

D) Scofield replied he know all, which indicates he must have eaten 5.
Therefore cupcake division is as below:
Sucre : 1
T-Bag : 2
Burrows: 3
Scofield : 5

The person on 73rd number will survive.

Explanation:
Till the number is the power of 2, the last person to survive will be the one who started it. But since the number here is not the power of 2, we will take the greatest power of 2 that is less than the number which is 64.
100 - 64 = 36
36 people are killed as 2, 4, 6, ..., 72. Thus the sword will now be given to the 73rd person. Now he is the first person to start in the remaining 64 people. Thus he will be the one to survive.

Solution:

13 x 3 + 1 = 40

The number of decks is absolutely not relevant here which means whether we mix 5 or 500 cards still results would be same.
Any card drawn will be a Ace,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Jack,Queen or King, so there are 13 possibilities each time a card is drawn.
If you are lucky just 5 cards of the same kind can be obtained in 4 steps

The unluckiest(worst) way is our solution as we need to guarantee a four of a kind.
Draw 3 of each kind =>now we have 39 cards. Next card will guarantee 4 of a kind.

If you keep your selected envelope, you still have a 1/3 chance of finding an offer letter in that. However, since the interviewer has removed one empty envelope from the table, if you switch, you have a probability of 2/3 that the offer letter is inside that.
