Tip

Is the egg boiled or raw?

Have you ever found an egg in a refrigerator and had no idea if it's already boiled or not? Well, there is an easy way to find out! Try spinning the egg around. If the spin is fast - the egg is already boiled. If the spin is slow and holds only for a couple of spins - the egg is raw.

The reason for that is that the raw egg is liquid inside, and this liquid is interfering with the spin.

A better way to check this out is: give the egg a spin, when it spins fast put your finger on top so that the egg doesn't turn anymore. Then within a second pull your finger of the egg and when the egg stands stil the egg is boiled, when the egg starts turning again the egg isn't boiled. The inside of the egg has also velocity (and since you only stop the outside), therefor the egg starts to move again.
