    take only one egg.
    you can start from the first floor if it breaks.well you will be knowing the result. if it is still intact go up a floor using the same egg. Do this until that egg breaks, the last floor you could do it without breaking is your answer. so by this you can have another egg to eat as you will be tired of going around the stairs.

    Minimum chances is one since there are only two eggs and that to determine their strength you needed to start from one before going to two and three and etc.
