There is a 100-story building and you are given two eggs.
The eggs (and the building) have an interesting property
that if you throw the egg from a floor number less than X,
it will not break. And it will always brake if the floor
number is equal or greater than X. Assuming that you can
reuse the eggs which didn't broke; you got to find X in a
minimal number of throws. Give an algorithm to find X in
minimal number of throws.

Answer Posted / the practitioner
Just start on the first floor and throw the egg. If it
breaks then X=1
If not then go to the second floor and throw the egg. If it
breaks then X=2
If not then go to the third floor and throw the egg. If it
breaks then X=3
If not then keep doing that and the floor it breaks on is
the floor that X equals.
But really, in real life, a real egg would break from 3
feet.
