Check Which Floors To Break Eggs From

Consider the size but also the height of the box.

Check which floors to break eggs from.

If egg breaks on 27 th floor we try floors form 15 to 26. I think we should start from 50the floor if the first egg breaks we have to check lower 50 floors otherwise upper 50 floors. Again two cases arise. To encourage chickens to lay in nest boxes.

If egg breaks we one by one try remaining 13 floors. One of the floors is the highest floor an egg can be dropped from without breaking. If egg doesn t break on 27 th floor we go to 39 th floor. We can notice that if we choose 4th floor as first floor 7 th as next floor and 9 as next of next floor we never exceed more than 4 trials.

In either case we have to do the job from downward to upwards. If it is dropped from that. If it doesn t break you will have to check the x x 1 th big x x 1 big text th x x 1 th floor. If egg doesn t break we go to 27th floor.

See below for programming solution for general k eggs and n floors. Then we have to test floors 1 13 with the 2nd egg to see where the egg breaks again and the egg will not break on any of those floors. 2 if egg does not break we try next from 7 th floor. An egg eating vice is also easily started in the flock when eggs are laid on the floor so laying on the floor needs to be avoided.

For example if the property of the eggs is that n equals 15 those eggs will always break on any floor higher than or equal to the 15th floor but those eggs will never break on any floor below floor 15. Then you should start at the x th x text th x th floor because if the egg breaks you will have to check floors 1 2 3 x 2 1 2 3 ldots x 2 1 2 3 x 2 and x 1 x 1 x 1 so the total number of drops will be x x x. A building has 100 floors. What this means is that the egg will not break when dropped from any floor below floor n but the egg will definitely break from any floor above floor n including floor n itself.

If an egg is dropped from above that floor it will break. Raising a nest box slightly can make a distinction between that and the floor.
