You have only 2 eggs & there is a 36 storeyed.Now u have to determine the strength of the eggs i.e.,The higest floor from which if u drop the eggs,it would not break and would break if u drop from the immediate next higher floor. In other words, How many minimum chances (NOT MAXIMUM)Can u determine the strength of the eggs? Assume the eggs have good amount of strength.

Minumum chances = 1, drop the egg from the top & its fine.
Or maybe, 19 chances, go up 2 floors at a time until one egg breaks, then drop the other one from the floor below, if that egg is ok then the floor your on is as high as you can go, if it breaks as well then it must be the floor below.

assuming your last line the chances are varied. But you can do it with only breaking one egg:
Start from the first floor if it breaks... if it is still intact go up a floor using the same egg. Do this until that egg breaks, the last floor you could do it without breaking is your answer.

You would break an egg by dropping it only a few feet, so what's the point of dropping it off a building?

And I'm suppose to understand this....why?
An egg would break falling off a table, why try to figure the highes floor from which you would try to drop it from?
All of them! Or go to the highest one and drop it from there!

That is easy. As soon as you drop the egg, if it is more than 12 inches off the floor it is going to break! PERIOD! SO the answer is ONE TIME!

What did the egg say to the hot boiling water? How can I get hard when I just got laid a minute ago. The answer is a hard egg.

Place a skillet on the ground and drop the egg from the first floor... that will be sufficient. At least, then you can fry it.

I have one egg. The other one broke when it fell off the table but that's another story.

I think i understand what you're talking about.
Surely the minimum is going to be 1 - you get it spot on first time.
