You have 2 light bulbs. You are in multistory building such that if you drop a bulb from a floor of a certain height or higher the bulb will break: for ex: if the bulb will break at a minimum height of 10th floor, then the bulb will break if dropped only if dropped from a floor higher than tenth floor. it will not break if dropped from ninth floor or less. using the two bulbs how will you figure out at which floor will the bulb break?

The first 12 digits of pi are 314159265358. We can make these digits into an expression evaluating to 27182 (first 5 digits of e) as follows: 3141 * 5 / 9 * 26 / 5 * 3 - 5 * 8 = 27182 or 3 + 1 - 415 * 92 + 65358 = 27182 Notice that the order of the input digits is not changed. Operators (+,-,/, or *) are simply inserted to create the expression. Write a function to take a list of numbers and a target, and return all the ways that those numbers can be formed into expressions evaluating to the target For example: f("314159265358", 27182) should print: 3 + 1 - 415 * 92 + 65358 = 27182 3 * 1 + 4 * 159 + 26535 + 8 = 27182 3 / 1 + 4 * 159 + 26535 + 8 = 27182 3 * 14 * 15 + 9 + 26535 + 8 = 27182 3141 * 5 / 9 * 26 / 5 * 3 - 5 * 8 = 27182
