(the dad of a kid called roper at our school removed the centre of a conker and replaced it with some industrial resin stuff ... not all that sporting but slightly befuddled the teacher who failed to break it with a hammer and a brick)

# The pickling is a con..
It only ever made them slightly squishy. They didn't shatter, but you may as well have had a mouse on the end of your string.

# I had access....
I had access to a huge conker supply (Through my dad's connections at a zoo) to a limitless supply of conkers. I used to bring them in by the carrier bag full loads to school and sell them.

I was the local Conker dealer... :)

# Had a friend who:
1. Baked it
2. Soaked it in vinegar for 3 days.
3. Covered it in brown sauce.
4. Put in the airing cupboard for a month.

First hit is shattered.
