Given an unlimited number of light bulbs (that break at a certain height), and a building with 100 floors, how do you determine the height that the light bulb breaks?
The solution is a binary search algorithm (where you start on floor 50th and move up or down depending if the bulb breaks or not, always picking the middle floor of your option range).
