how about

You have two coconuts and you want to find out how high they can be dropped from a 100 story building before they break. But you only have $1.50 and the elevator costs a dime each time you ride it.


How can you drop the coconuts to guarantee you will find the lowest floor they will break at, while starting and ending at floor 1?


Note: They break when dropped from the same height and they don't weaken from getting dropped.

Well obviously I think you'd have to piggyback your coconuts one after another, but don't you have to solve my riddle first before posing a new one?

It's dandelion. Flower is a sun, seed head is a moon, and seeds flying are stars.

Now shall we go back to those blasted coconuts before Starr's turn? Obviously one drops a coconut on floor one and if it busts you have to take the second one up to floor two. But if it doesn't bust, and this is where my math failures are coming in, what is the next floor you try to keep in your budget?

An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
'That eye is like to this eye'
Said the first eye,
'But in low place
Not in high place.'
