1. Go up to the 5th floor and drop egg from there
- If it breaks, use the second egg to test floor 1-4
- If it doesn't break, proceed to the 10th floor
*Continue in this pattern*
EG.
I used the method above to conduct the experiment. Here are the results:
EGG 1:
5th floor drop - doesn't break
10th floor drop - doesn't break
15th floor drop - doesn't break
20th floor drop - breaks
Egg 2:
16th floor drop - breaks
According to the data, the egg broke when dropped from 16th floor and didn't break when dropped from 15th floor. Therefore, the egg will break when dropped from 16 floors up.
This test was done on each floor, which means that this test was done 16 times
Using the method given above, you would only need to do the test 5 times before we have an answer.
