Yesterday Andrejs told me that his friend who was applying for a job in Google had to answer such question. I found the question quite interesting.
* 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

Hehehe tricky guys. I say none, they already said it is like this, they can not break from the 100th, no need to try again. Or they are lying, in which case you should try from the 100th.
or better to take an egg, take the interviewers to the first floor of their building, throw an egg from there, show them that the egg brakes even from the first floor, get promoted :D
minimum 2, maximum 50 drops. am I right? am I right? am I right??
maximum should be 14 at most :P
