What are they falling onto, grass,water, concrete, John Fennas?

Right, you have 2 eggs. They are exactly the same. You need to test the highest floor the eggs can be dropped and remain intact when falling from a 99 storey building. Explain the least number of tests you need to do in order to know exactly.

no tests at all, i already know that eggs break when dropped

stuart

One. You drop an egg from a first floor and it will break. End of test.

LOL see post 177

the type of egg has not been defined, it could be glass, rubber, diamond...

Wouldn't be an egg then.

So, you have a very clever mathematician, and an aggressive disbelieving terrier-like wordsmith, and you need to prove who is right. Using only a croissant, a sprig of lucky heather from a Gypsy lady in the High Street and a old copy of the New Testament that you were given at school when you were thirteen by the Gideons, work out whose gang you want to be in when the music stops.

I can't believe that there are 12 people currently looking at this thread! Emma, I think we are famous!

Smart ****.

I confess to not knowing the answer to this and may be overcomplicating it. But I do know a rubber egg would not break and two diamonds the size of eggs would be stolen quickly by me before they made the first floor.

I may regret this. But I am going with Robbi, Jon & Stu.

What!! Really? Where was the other one?

And yeah, people have met me, and indeed both of us. I had to apologise for her then too.

 

[Retired Member southey]

I haven't met either, and Emma Said I had a small dinkle, But I don believe her either!

 

[Maggot]

If the rubber is frozen it will shatter on impact. So we also need to know if the egg is rubber, what the temperature is. Similarly, if the eggs were diamonds, and hit a diamond floor, then they could break.

Poorly worded question really.

Can I just clarify, it wasn't me last time.

FM ! where's the wall thing to bang me head off !

See, now you are thinking like a mathematician and over-complicating stuff. An egg is an egg is an egg. They smash at a height of a few feet

 

[Maggot]

Robbi, use this

I say the same thing about Jon. He does not believe me either but I can prove it.
