My rare round egg went mouldy
I made this!
My part boiled spherical egg has gone off. Now I need to find another...impossible? My B in GCSE maths tells me maybe not...

find the mums of each round egg
and start a farm, coin it in with your increased probability round eggs
round eggs are far more suited to egg skelters

I'd try
soaking an egg in vinegar to soften the shell and gently forcing the softened egg into a spherical mould.
And if that doesn't work, I'd try
soaking a bunch of eggs in vinegar to fully dissolve their shells
collecting the vinegar/eggshell solution, separating the vinegar as much as possible
half boil one of your rubbery no-shell eggs inside the spherical mould
reapply the shell solution to the now spherical egg (somehow).
and if that doesn't work I'd try waiting.
Anyway can you do one of those handstand press-ups yet?

This is a wind-up.
Half of an egg shell is spherical anyway, the half which goes into the cup.

You could just make an inverted eggcup that presents an apparently spherical egg.
A pretty dastardly trick to play on someone though.

The narrowing of the egg varies quite a bit though.
If you really want to mess with people's heads:-
i Inject a flavour into an egg and seal before boiling (allow to diffuse).
ii Watch the cognitive dissonance as they tuck into a cherry flavour egg.
iii Run away giggling.

It's not a wind up. A normal egg isn’t spherical at either end - it’s an ovoid with continuously changing curvature. Even the rounder end isn’t a hemisphere, which is why standard egg cups rely on friction rather than geometric fit. That's by the by though - I'm making an egg cup that will fit a spherical egg perfectly, as my (now rotted) round egg does not fit in a 'normal' egg cup (as demonstrated by my tests). Pointless - probably. A wind up - absolutely not.

Spherical enough was what I meant.
You've obviously got more and better data than me though.

Thank you. I conducted my exhaustive experiments on 2 normal egg cups, although one was a double egg cup, so really 3.

It's the waiting game - the round egg has to be delivered as nature intended (or unintended). I'm thinking about a one armed pull up.

One-armed is an actual challenge. Real fitness freak stuff.
I've been working on my blown out and torn up knees, doing lots of slow motion deep squats, many different stances including single leg. Really noticing improvements. Good for posture, balance and core strength too. Considering adding weights. Single arm stuff though? Jesus.

Maybe I'll do some squats instead?! My core and posture are both awful. I can still do one pull up mind. Haven't managed two in a row...yet.
