Optimal Egg Drop
You have a building with `n` floors and `k` eggs. Your goal is to find the lowest floor from which you can drop an egg without it breaking, using the minimum number of drops in the worst case. Implement a function that takes the number of floors `n` and the number of eggs `k` as input and returns the minimum number of attempts needed to find the critical floor. The input consists of two integers, `n` and `k`. Output the minimum number of attempts needed.
Example:
Input:
10 2
Output:
4
