I own one of those. It is not for aiming.

I'm emptying my political file. Maybe I won't have to bore you with shit like this ever again.
ON SOCIALISM
"I picked a man up from his dialysis apt and as we were heading down the road we saw a Biden sign. He immediately started ranting that Biden wanted to socialize medicine and how that would be so horrible. His dialysis was paid for by Medicare. His transportation was being paid for by Medicare."

After that, he took his two daughters into a cave, got drunk, and then fucked them until they both got pregnant. Do you read that part of the bible to your kids?

start dropping from the second floor as the question rules out the first floor. Continue dropping from next floor until breakage.
Ummm... How you gonna do that? You only get 2 eggs.
Puzzle time: assuming we can reuse an unbroken egg.
Max drops is 14. Min drops is 2.
X(x+1)/2 =100
X=13.65
Puzzle time...
this has been driving me crazy all day. First of all, I'm going to assume the egg survives a drop from the first floor, and will definitely break if dropped from the 100th floor. Otherwise what is the point of the puzzle if it either always breaks or never breaks?
My first attempt got me starting at 50. If it breaks, then I have to start at the 2nd floor and go up until my second egg broke. If the floor is 49, then it would take me 49 drops. But if egg #1 DOESN'T break on the 50th floor, then you can divide and conquer again...go to 75th floor. If the egg breaks there, go to 51 and go up 1 floor at a time with egg #2 and drop it until it broke. In this case we would be at ~25 drops total (if the nth floor was 74). If it doesn't break at 75, then go to floor 87 (midpoint at what's left). With this strategy, I have fewer drops the higher the nth floor is.
What if I reversed my strategy and started at let's say floor 6 and drop the egg. If it breaks, I only have to go back down to the 2nd floor and go up until it breaks...if the nth floor is the 5th floor, it would've taken me 5 drops total to get there. If egg #1 doesn't break at 6, then I go 12. if it doesn't break at 12, go to 25, then 50, then 75, then 87, then 95, then 99. Let's say the nth floor is 49...It would take 28 drops. That way the largest interval I would have to test with egg #2 is 24 floors going up. In this scenario, if the nth floor is the 98th floor, It would take 11 drops total.
Ok so that made me think about minimizing the largest gap between the last "no break" floor and the first "break" floor. The other thing is that as you get to a floor where it doesn't break, you used a drop. so the higher you make it, the more drops of egg #1 you used, and when egg #1 finally breaks, you want the number of floors to test with egg #2 to be as small as possible. Well...the best way to do this is start at a certain floor...if it doesn't break, then go up a number of floors that is fewer than the floor number you started with. Since my best work so far was 28 drops, I tried starting with the 25th floor with egg #1. If it breaks, I go down to floor 2 and it will take me 25 drops total if the nth floor is 24. If egg #1 doesn't break at 25th floor, I go to the 49th floor and drop. If it breaks, I go down to the 26th floor and start working my way up. If the nth floor is 49, it would take me...25 drops. Ok, so if egg #1 doesn't break at 49, then I go to 49+23 = 72. Then 72+22...you get the idea. This approach whittles down the number of drops, so I tested the theory again with starting at floor 20, then go to floor 39 (20+19), then to 57 (20+19+18), then 74 (57+17), then 90...In this case, the maximum number of drops would be 20. Woah!!!
I basically took this approach until I got it down to 14. And that my friend is the answer. I'm sure there is a math nerd out there that has a formula for this. But this is what I came up with.
WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T YOU SIGN YOUR NAME TO THAT?!?!
That was a really long ass way to derive to tbe same answer as a simple algebra problem.
See formula above. You are correct though, 14 is the max drops.
oooh look...I can cut and paste an algebraic solution I found on the internet to make myself look smart, without explaining how I even arrived at the answer.
I bet that was the "I solved this in about 1 minute" guy.
And thanks for validating my answer. It means a lot.
