# The Egg Dropping Problem is a classic dynamic programming problem.
# - You are given `k` eggs and a building with `n` floors. Your goal is to determine
#   the minimum number of attempts required to find the highest floor `F` from which
#   if an egg is dropped, it will break. If an egg breaks from floor `F`, it will
#   also break from any floor above `F`. The challenge is to minimize the worst-case
#   number of attempts.
