You have 2 identical glass bulbs with you. Bulb
manufacturer has mentioned that each bulb might withstand a
drop of 200 Feet at maximum. Your task is to find the
height at which the bulb breaks ofcourse with minimum
number of iterations.
Assume that you have 200 blocks of 1 foot each which can be
stacked one by one to create a 200 Feet structure to carry
out the test.
Answer Posted / shantanu_sanjeev
For the best solution the worst case max drops will be "24"
For this we divide it into
1st five blocks from bottom of size 20 : 5*20 = 100
Next ten blocks of top of size 10 : 10*10 = 100
This will have a worst case at 99 when there will be 24
drops and all other numbers above 99 will have less than 24
drops.
