but since any sort of anti-global warming stuff will be against companies
there's probably zero they can do there
solution: we all become Amish
Phijkchu commune let's go
I really want to have Bill Gates do his sun blocking plan
unirronically
in general, no one likes pollution
hence why the Phijkchu pollution machine is such a great idea
I thought that question would be dumb, after first read
but I really like it
Yeah, that is a good question
Even more optimally, as a gambler, you drop an egg at floor 50, and on the way down you drop an egg on floor 30, narrowing the search if it does not break!
(They would not hire you for that answer)
I guess the optimal answer is then drop it on 50, if it breaks, start from 1 and go every floor
if not, go drop it from 75
if it breaks, go from 1 from 50
and so on
there's a justification the answer could be 1, and have that be an optimal test case
Fire, eggs survive a 3-story fall onto grass
They do not specify what type of egg it is either
so you technically have no idea how strong it is
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Fire, eggs survive a 3-story fall onto grass
Good point. They need to explain what the surface we're dropping it onto is.
If it somehow can survive terminal velocity, it will survive from floor 100
the point is to systematically check floors in the most optimal way
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak If it somehow can survive terminal velocity, it will survive from floor 100
I actually think this would be my answer
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I actually think this would be my answer
I cannot think of a more optimal way to possibly limit your search pool
because to reach terminal velocity, you'd have to drop from a ~250 floor building
so as a % of the overall solution space, 100 isn't that bad
but if it's not 100, you then have to start from floor 1, with egg 2
alternatively, Fire's solution is assume it breaks from floor 1, have that be your 1 drop and that solves in 1 as well
I think the possibility of solving it in 1 is less valuable, since you will still known the answer with the amount of eggs you have
so always dropping at 50 is more valuable
both are guaranteed to eventually solve it, and have the possibility of solving in 1
