off-topic question about EGG DROP COMPETITION IDEAS?!

[pryomancer]

Leaving your egg only slightly cracked, earning you a C+ or maybe even a B-!

 

 

 

Because aiming high is for losers. 8-)

I don't get it it....you attach it to a 40ft pole and drop it that way? But then the pole will fall over....leaving your egg only slightly shattered, earning you an F or maybe even a D-! Plus, you spelled ladder wrong :shame:

i think he was just being sarcastic. but if this was real, i think it would never work, because where would you get a 40 ft pole? lol, i'd to see one :XD:

I did this two weeks ago for my Physics class. The extreme straw-suspension works great, but it's too complicated. One word: pillow. Get a relatively small pillow, and get tons of cotton, stuff it until it's packed. If you want, cut one egg-holder out of an egg carton, and put the egg in there.(tape it in, inside the pillow).

 

 

 

Mine was best in class besides straws, no doubt.

I had to do this in 5th grade i think, i put it in a container and just stuffed it with cotton and the egg didnt crack \

Would a tightly sealed box filled with thick lotion and your egg work? With some extra padding maybe :?:

[fatbill]

could you not just stick it in a box fill it with foam so that it cant move?

 

 

 

Or in water perhaps? some different ideas

Woah! Nice idea! Seriously, would that work? :o

This might be classified as cheating, but...

 

 

 

On MythBusters, Jamie (what a smart guy) hollowed out an orange and cut it in half. He then placed the egg between the edges and taped it shut. Next, get 39 1/2 inches of string (in length), and lower it down to the ground, dropping it when there's about 1/2 a foot left.

 

 

 

However, he also put an extra covering around the egg.

 

 

 

It worked, too. :mrgreen:

 

 

 

Anyway, I just put foam and paper and cottonballs in a shoebox, taped it and taped it and taped it, and let 'er drop. (In the fifth grade.)
