    Egg
In summary, a conversation was had about the ability to balance an egg on its end, with some people successfully balancing an egg and others questioning the difficulty of the task. One person mentioned a deformity in their egg that made it easier to balance, while another recommended looking up videos of Phil Plait balancing eggs. Despite doubts and references to magic, the conversation ended with the determination to continue experimenting with balancing eggs.

Balancing a single egg is easy. Let's see you balance an egg on top of another egg.

I can do better. I can balance an egg on top of four eggs, which are themselves, balanced on an egg carton.

Well, this probably doesn't apply but if infant to balance an egg I just sprinkle some salt on the table and then balance it on that. If your husband Is the kind of guy that would pull that off then ask him about it.
