if boiled eggs have been mixed with fresh eggs in a basket, how do you know which is which?

Answer 1

Idiotic Idea: Spin the eggs. The eggs that spin for a long time, they are the boiled eggs.

Answer 2

Simply spin the eggs individually.

If the egg spins quickly and easily, it's been hard boiled. If the eggs spins slowly and wobbles, it's still raw.

Not only do I know this from personal egg spinning experience, but am also referencing a short but nifty article found at didyouknow.com

Answer 3

Fresh eggs have a sheen to them and boiled eggs look duller. This works if you are not allowed to touch them.. The spinning test will work, too. Boiled eggs will "spin" and raw eggs will not. And the Water Test: raw eggs will float and boiled eggs will sink..

Answer 4

Exactly what Gita said. You spin the eggs on a flat surface. The un-boiled eggs will fail to spin. The liquid inside of them if not boiled ruins the centrifical force.

Answer 5

If you buy your eggs from the supermarket, the fresh eggs will still have their ID printed in ink. Once you boil them, the ink disappears.

Well, that's how I always tell the difference between them if I got them mixed up together in the fridge... not much science, eh? :D
