How would you do it? (A "team building exercise, think we were being trolled)

Hard boil the egg first ;) If there was a way to construct a triangular box for the egg and have the straw as additional support that might work. I'd have to ask my engineer husband. Great question!

Just throw the egg at the teacher or boss or whomever is in charge (nah jk, don't listen to this)

Make an eggachute! Cut the straw in half and use it for support on both sides of the egg and paper, the paper is the drag source and wrap the rubber band around everything. It sounds unstable, but the straws would be like the bridge of a violin, it's not glued on but there's enough force pressing on it that it stays on. If you have a way to better the design of this eggachute, please reply to the comment.

I like that idea! We need someone in a tall building to test this, lol.

Thanks!

I live in a apartment

Go to the 11th floor and drop the egg. It will fall 10 floors without breaking. That 11tth floor though...yeah that ones a doozy.

OMG THE EGGDROP CONTEST I DID THAT LAST YEAR!

is it JUST that?

*I mean is that the only materials

All we got was A4 printer paper, regular plastic drinking straw, medium-smallish rubber band (just what you see in the picture). No access to electrical appliances or anything like that unfortunately
There were a couple egg-a-chutes but they didn't make it :(

Welp

the design looked really cute tho :3

Two words : Rubber eggs

Or you could put the eggs in the paper because the eggs might not break because the paper hit the ground instead of the eggs.

Is masturbation permitted?

Yes. You see, if you were to repeatedly masturbate onto the egg, flipping after it dries each time, you could create a very sturdy jizz shell. If you kept at it for a long time, the egg could survive a 50k foot fall, no parachute needed. Trust me, NASA is always contacting me about stuff like this, so I know my way around masturbating to save mankind.

Fascinating! That's actually quite a genius solution👌💯
and with a whole team/whatever setting this contest/game usually takes place in, the multiple participants => a bukkake session could really up the jizz

Yes!!! Bukkake is the answer to many of man's problems. Too bad not many people have embraced it. I think we need to start a revolution. Let's found a new political party, The Bukkake Party of America!

I'm in

How are we going to make this happen? We need a plan.

Well we are two strong right now - The Bukkake Party of America! (Election 2024?😶) Let's hope more people read this, can be inspired by the beauty and genius in it, and join us!💦 I dunno what do you think we do?

I've always felt that luncheons are the key to success. With that said, I propose that we put together a high-end luncheon to facilitate the discussion of why it is a good idea to hold more luncheons for The Bukkake Party of America!

I'm so down! Sorry I've been sick in bed. Yes a luncheon and perhaps a live performance, a demonstration of bukkake solving a variety of problems to gain interest?

how long is the straw and how large is the rubber band?

Regular plastic drinking straw, medium-smallish rubber band (just what you see in the picture :) )

I could make that work.

Probably the best thing to do would be boiling the egg :)

If I can't boil it then I guess I would be to use the paper and rubber band to make a parachute-type thing. I don't think a regular-sized piece of paper would be big enough tho...

You have to:
Try to decrease the speed of the fall (parachute)
Use lightweight materials (paper and rubber band will do)
Increase the duration of the impact

Increase duration of impact: by cutting the straw into tiny pieces to attach over the egg like spikes? (Looking kinda like a covid egg)

I’ll show you mine but I used cardboard

Eggcited to see!

Ok what if given 2 of each item?
2 sheets of paper- one A4 (8.3 x 11.7 inch) printer paper like in the picture + one A2 size printer paper (16.5 x 23.4 inches)
2 rubber bands - 2 regular like in the picture
2 straws- 2 regular plastic drinking straws like in the picture

None of the eggs from our team building exercise survived, so..¯\_(ツ)_/¯
