Redhat99: The question, did not say, whether shell is taken off or not
So I did think of hard-boiled but the issue is they do break on impact..so couldn't think of a way to deduce the floors .. You could drop it from 100th and see if it breaks - if it does not the answer is 1, if it does , then you have to try with the other ..and still may not get it right... will wait to see if someone has a better answer here's one for you before I head out A man gave his two sons , 2 dimes and a nickel- what is the time ?

Redhat99: You have two identical eggs. Standing in front of a 100 floor building, you wonder what is the maximum number of floors from which the egg can be dropped without breaking it. What is the minimum number of tries needed to find out the solution?

Two boys wish to cross a river. The only way to get to the other side is by boat, but that boat can only take one boy at a time. The boat cannot return on its own, there are no ropes or similar tricks, yet both boys manage to cross using the boat. How? |
