This isn't a critical thinking problem, it's a math problem. As a critical thinker, I would estimate what floor I think the egg would break at, then estimate a safe floor I feel the egg won't break at. The more eggs I have, the less safety margin needed. After finding the first "safe" floor I would go up floor by floor (or more than one floor at a time if I had spare eggs).

> then estimate a safe floor I feel the egg won't break at This isn't a solution to the problem. Your approach carries the risk that you never find the answer (given the preconditions). I don't think this qualifies as "good" critical thinking, since you don't actually have a solution.
