Egg drop riddle.

Dropping eggs from a building. The first line is a hypothetical situation. This is fine if the egg doesn t break but if it does we are stuck because we only have one egg left. The city has just opened its one of a kind faberge egg museum with a single egg displayed on each floor of a 100 story building and the world s most notorious jewel thief already has her eyes on the prize. In the second line a thief gives 3 eggs making the total count 3. How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it.

So it means that the total number of eggs is zero to begin with. The algorithm then says take the set of 50 floors that we continue with divide them in two and check again. So for the egg drop riddle we would start by dividing the 100 floors into two halves throw the egg from the 50th floor and see what happens. Because security is tight and the eggs are so large she ll only get the chance to steal one by dropping it out the window into her waiting truck and repelling down before the police can arrive. The third line reads a rooster lays eggs which is an impossible thins as roosters don t lay eggs. Yossi elran shows how.

The egg wont crack the concrete floor. Being pragmatic she decides to settle for the most. All eggs are identical in weight and construction but each floor s egg is more rare and valuable than the one below it. While the thief would naturally like to take the priceless egg at the top she suspects it won t survive a 100 story drop. You would have 6 eggs left based on the grammar on the riddle. Can you help the thief formulate a plan that will drop the most expensive egg she can get safely into her waiting truck.

2 egg drop finding the highest floor. Using only these two eggs you must figure out the highest floor from which you can drop an egg such that the egg won t break when it hits the ground we ll call this the highest safe floor. There is a building of 100 floors if an egg drops from the nth floor or above it will break. The riddle states that you have 6 eggs. Check out our patreon page.
