People, if you're going to participate in google code jam, you probably need to know, that google is famous of their search engine It is really wonderful, instead of asking someone and waiting for a long time you can just do the following things: 1. Open site google.com (remember this address) 2. Type something related to your question. For example "GCJ egg drop overview" 3. OH MY GOD!!! You found what you was looging for! The first link is http://blog.puzzlearena.com/2008/06/gcj-practice-c-egg-drop-part-ii.html and it seems like the answer!
