Ball drop protocol

Someone told about this phone interview question.

If you drop a ball from a high enough floor of a 100-story building, it will break into pieces when it hits the ground. You have two balls to test with. How do you determine the lowest floor that is high enough to break a ball with the fewest number of drops?
