This would be perfect to solve with 6 eggs but only 2...originally I would test first at floor #50 to eliminate half the posiblities..then 25, 12, etc. but since the first egg is important I'd drop it at 10th 20th etc til breakage then start at last safe drop working up one floor at a time maximum being 19 drops for floor 99...
