* You are given 2 eggs.
* 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 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. You are allowed
to break 2
eggs in the process
