Process

I was contacted by a university recruiter. Usually, there is an on-campus interview. After that, they might invite you to their office for a final round of interview. The first round typically involves brain teasers to see how you think and solve problems. They don't expect you to completely solve the problem; instead, they care more about your thought process.

Questions

Brain teaser question:

You have two glass balls and you want to test how strong they are by dropping them from a 100-story building.

What's the algorithm that requires the minimum number of trials?
