Egg Dropping Puzzle

---

A very popular puzzle among math teachers. Indeed, it appears on a number of very popular lists!

I decided to take a formal look at it only very recently and to my big surprise I quickly discovered that the treatment of this puzzle in the official literature only scratches the surface.

So .... during my 2002 sabbatical I decided to investigate this gem more thoroughly. I published the results in a recent paper.

I highly recommend this paper to lecturers who teach subjects that are related to decision-making under uncertainty.
