The call center calls the middle no. i.e. (305/2) = 152.5 say 152 and asks them their name to get an idea of whether to go to up or down side of 152 no directory and suppose person replies some name.
The starting letter of the name will suggest the call center to decide to weather go up or down the name list.
So the process goes like >305->152-->76-->38-->19-->9-->4-->2-->1.
So Minimum time = 9*2 = 18 mins.

Why does everyone provide different and complex solutions to such simple questions because if I got confused by your methods then I'm afraid someone else too might not understand. Let's just stick with the > and <.

A call center agent has a list of 305 phone numbers of people in alphabetic order of names (but She does not have any of the names). She needs to quickly contact Deepak Sharma to convey a message to him. If each call takes 2 minutes to complete, and every call is answered, what is the minimum amount of time in which she can guarantee to deliver the message to Mr Sharma?
