RIDDLE 1 :3

You have two coconuts and you want to find out how high they can be dropped from a 100 story building before they break. But you only have $1.40 and the elevator costs a dime each time you ride it up (it's free for rides down).

How can you drop the coconuts to guarantee you will find the lowest floor they will break at, while starting and ending at floor 1?

Note: They break when dropped from the same height and they don't weaken from getting dropped.

Take the stairs :3

There are no stairs D:

Is it a math equation?

 

[PersonSP]

It seems to be...I had to solve such a one before but I'm too lazy to solve this one now.

 

[Artisan]

You start with the top level and work your way down because it's free.

 

[PersonSP]

Yeah but you only have two coconuts so if you start too high you can't be sure whether it is the lowest floor they could be dropped down from.

 

[Shadow of Spades]

hehehe you guys are still wrong

 

[Rocky]

couldnt he just drop it at floor 1? it says starting and ending at floor 1, so that could mean he doesnt travel any floors

 

[Shadow of Spades]

nope.....So far only one person got it correct and pmed me the answer
