I am a place where all deliveries are returned to the sender, those who perform better need to do less work, and a lot of things get knocked over, but generally speaking, nothing gets broken.

What am I?

a bowling alley

The bowlers always have their bowling balls, which they deliver toward the bowling pins, returned to them by the machine.
Bowlers who get one or more strikes (a strike being the best result) need to deliver fewer balls in order to complete the game.
The bowling pins are the things that get knocked over.

I break knots in every strand,
Helping those who have it at hand,
Often found inside the spot,
Where cleaning's done quite a lot.

Hold me by the neck and I won't mind,
if I get wrong I just need a good wind.
If you want me you better pick wisely,
just use your ears and I'll follow you blindly.

You have 19 eggs.
18 of them have the same weight and 1 of them is different,
but you do not know if it is heavier or lighter than the others.

Using the best possible strategy, in the worst case scenario,
how many weighing do we need to perform
in order to correctly identify the different egg?

Edit : You do not necessarily need to find if the egg is heavier or lighter than the others.
