This seems like a long shot, but what if I started on the 17th floor, then to the 33th floor, 48th floor, 62th floor, 75th floor, 87th floor, 98th floor, and finally to the 100th floor. And when one vase breaks, I return to the previous floor I was on and throw the second vase in increments of 1. And if my math is correct (which it probably isn't), this should give me 18 throws in a worst case scenario.
You're literally one step away from the correct answer. You have the correct method, you just need to figure out which floor to start that strategy from, and you're not far off at all!!
Actually, anyone can read the above tags, but it's more significant for those already engaged in the riddle. Who will be the first to get the correct number? :D
