?5. What are the max no. of drops required ?
You are given 2 eggs.
* You have access to a 100-storey building.
* Eggs may break if dropped from the first floor or may not even break if dropped from 100 th 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.
* Now the question is how many drops you need to make. Remember you are allowed to break only 2 eggs in the process
Note: I want the max no. of drops required when the "most efficient" (algorithmic sense) way is adopted or jst give the way/algorithm.

Who am I ?
Who am I ? This is one of the toughest questions that one can ask me, because frankly speaking I haven't been able to figure it out as yet. Calling me just by my name (samarth) is as good as calling me by any number or serial code because it doesnt describe me completely. So lets try answering What am I like? I am lively but at times lazy, obedient but at times rigid, wise but at times foolish, selfish but at times altruistic, honest but at times I lie, bold but at times scared, patient but at times get restless, confident but at times insecure, trustworthy but remember I lie, so this question also turns out to be too complex to answer. Perhaps the best way to answer this is by saying what Popeye said and later copied by Reebok as their punchline - "I am what I am"
