There is a 100-story building and you are given two eggs.
The eggs (and the building) have an interesting property
that if you throw the egg from a floor number less than X,
it will not break. And it will always brake if the floor
number is equal or greater than X. Assuming that you can
reuse the eggs which didn't broke; you got to find X in a
minimal number of throws. Give an algorithm to find X in
minimal number of throws.
Answer Posted / the practitioner
Just start on the first floor and throw the egg. If it
breaks then X=1
If not then go to the second floor and throw the egg. If it
breaks then X=2
If not then go to the third floor and throw the egg. If it
breaks then X=3
If not then keep doing that and the floor it breaks on is
the floor that X equals.
But really, in real life, a real egg would break from 3
feet.

In cryptography, you could often break the algorithm if you know what was the original (plain) text that was encoded into the current ciphertext. This is called the plain text attack. In this simple problem, we illustrate the plain text attack on a simple substitution cipher encryption, where you know each letter has been substituted with a different letter from the alphabet but you don’t know what that letter is. You are given the cipherText as the input string to the function getwordSets(). You know that a plain text "AMMUNITION" occurs somewhere in this cipher text. Now, you have to find out which sets of characters corresponds to the encrypted form of the "AMMUNITION". You can assume that the encryption follows simple substitution only. [Hint: You could use the pattern in the "AMMUNITION" like MM occurring twice together to identify this]

1) There is a singing competition for children going to be conducted at a local club. Parents have been asked to arrive at least an hour before and register their children’s names with the Program Manager. Whenever a participant registers, the Program Manager has to position the name of the person in a list in alphabet order. Write a program to help the Program Manager do this by placing the name in the right place each time the Program Manger enters a name. 2) the Event Manager has to send participants to the stage to perform in the order in which they registered. Write a program that will help the Event Manager know who to call to the stage to perform. The Logic should be in Data Structures
