I am in a 100-story building. I have with me two glass balls. I know that if I throw the ball out of the window, it will not break if the floor number is less than X, and it will always breaks if the floor number is equal to or greater than X. Assuming that I can reuse the balls which don't break, find X in the minimum number of throws.

Design an enumerator (e.g. named FBSuperEnumerator) that has two API's: - (id) nextObject; - (NSArray *) allObjects; // all objects remaining which, when given an input array that has content that can be either NSNumbers or NSArray, will expand all arrays embedded inside it. That is, given an input of something like @[@1, @[@2, @[@3, @4]], @[ ], @5], each call to nextObject will display items in the expected order.
