* You have access to a 100-storey building.
* Eggs can be very hard or very fragile means it may break if dropped from the first floor or may not even break if dropped from 100th floor. Both eggs are identical.
* You need to figure out the highest floor of a 100-storey building an egg can be dropped without breaking.

The question is: What strategy should you adopt to minimize the number egg drops it takes to find the solution?
There are no tricks, gotchas or other devious ruses. Don’t rat-hole with issues related to terminal velocity, potential energy or wind resistance. This is a math puzzle plain and simple.
