The Two Egg Problem
The blog author is very smart.<p>However, he is not very clever.<p>From my experience in the real world, I know that an unprotected egg will smash when dropped from one story, guaranteed. No need to go up 14 or 27 or even two stories.<p>(I also know that it is possible to devise protective enclosures to keep an egg from breaking when dropped from 6 stories. The Society of Women Engineers often sponsors competitions. Been there, got the T-shirt.)
