1st question: Start on the 14th floor. If it breaks, start with the second marble on the 1st floor and increase until it breaks. If it doesn't, go to the 14+13th floor, then 14+13+12th, etc. That gives you a maximum of 14 attempts.
Are you sure that's the best? This is a simple binary search. You have 100 floors and the "key" is finding which floor breaks the marble. You start at floor 50. Then you try floor 75 if the marble doesn't break, or 25 if it does. Then 87 or 12, and so on... even if the building has 128 floors, you need only 7 attempts in the worst case.

1. A good vocabulary / thesarus is very handy (which rules out half of/. already). 2. Good and bad spelling is important. Just because you can / can't spell a word, doesn't mean that everyone else can / can't.
Kerala, unlike most other Indian states, has affinity towards socialism and communism. It has strong labour unions and is a stronghold of Communist Party of India for a long time (source). It is to be noted that the present CM also hails from communist party (CPI(M)).
In terms of ideals and ambitions, I think it's only natural that Kerala's leaders see the value of sharing and community and trash proprietary software for open-source.
There's a Firefox extension ScreenGrab that uses Java to grab an entire Webpage and save it as an image file (PNG). No Flash/animations etc., but that's okay -- it only means you won't have flashing ads in the saved Webpage.;-) And since the output is an image, you don't need a "Unifier Viewer", say.

Cool, huh?
Yeah, that's why he gave you a starting point, presumably the one most insightful. ;-)
