There is a building with 100 floors (can be any positive integer). You have 2 light bulbs. They are special type of bulbs and you have only 2 of them. The specialty of the bulb is that they don’t break easily when dropped from a height. The idea is to find the minimum floor of the building from which the bulb would break. You need to suggest a solution which will take the least number of iterations (for the worst case scenario) to find the minimum floor from which the bulb breaks. Remember that the answer should be mathematically proven to give the minimum iterations. Also note that once you throw a bulb and it doesn’t break, you can automatically recall the bulb without going down the building to fetch it.

There is a new game in which 3 person play each other and only one wins. If 81 person participated in the tournament give a quick reply that how many matches will be played to decide the winner


We are sitting across a round circular table ( Me and you ) and we start a game of taking turns in placing a coin on the table ( i.e. I put one coin and then you put one coin and so on ) the last person who is not able to put the coin on table losses.
If you start this game who will win this game ? And what strategy you will apply to increase your probability of winning this game.

the answer is 40 matches ..
calculation
81/3=27 teams .. 27 matches ..2 out from each team
27/3=9 teams .... 9 matches .. 2 out from each team
9/3=3 team .. 3 matches .... 2 out from each team
3/3=1team ... 1 match ... 2 out from the team
1 winner
