When I was young(er) I learned that concave designs are used to construct dams because of the increased strength of the curve, and someone told me that it is impossible to crush a chicken egg in your hand. They were wrong. I crushed the egg easily -with either hand.
So then I tried placing a chicken egg in a concrete-backed egg-cup (which I made myself) and very gingerly placed a five-pound weight on top. The egg was crushed.
So then I tried a two-pound weight. Again, crushed.
My mom wouldn't let me waste any more eggs after that.
It IS possible that the size and type of egg has an effect on the outcome. Perhaps YOUR experiments will end more educationally than mine did...
