in a race what would come first the chicken or the egg?

Question

i have just found out the chicken has been plucked and the egg is soft boiled they r both free range

Answer 1

The chicken would be more aerodynamic and abit faster... But with the egg being soft boiled... And you rolled it too hard it may still break.
If the egg was from Liverpool (hard boiled & wearing a 'shell' suit)... It would win, no contest lol
Besides the chicken would run in all directions and the egg would roll straight to the finish line.
Hope this helps resolve your predicament.
Good luck with the race ;)

Answer 2

I think downhill or on sundays (that's roast night around here) the egg would come out tops.

Mon - Sat the chicken would have the best chance UNLESS it saw egg and got all motherly and picked the egg up... balancing it on it's beak so that techincally when they crossed the line the egg came first.

Of course if they were mutant chickens and eggs then we are talking a whole differnt ball field and it would be too hard to tell.

Answer 3

The chicken or the egg is a reference to the causality dilemma which arises from the expression "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Since both the chicken and the egg create the other in certain circumstances (a chicken emerges from an egg; an egg is laid by a chicken) it is ambiguous which originally gave rise to the other. Purely logical attempts to resolve the dilemma result in an infinite regress, since an egg was caused by a chicken, which was caused by an egg, etc. Since every chicken originates from its egg, it seems obvious the egg came first. Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. The solution may require an examination of syntax and may rely on verification from advances in modern genetic science. When used in reference to difficult problems of causality, the chicken and egg dilemma is often used to appeal to the futility of debate and lay it to rest.

History of the problem

The earliest reference to the dilemma is found in Plutarch's Moralia, in the books titled "Table Talk," in a series of arguments based on questions posed in a symposium. Under the section entitled, "Whether the hen or the egg came first," the discussion is introduced in such a way as to suggest that the origin of the dilemma was even older:

"...the problem about the egg and the hen, which of them came first, was dragged into our talk, a difficult problem which gives investigators much trouble. And Sulla my comrade said that with a small problem, as with a tool, we were rocking loose a great and heavy one, that of the creation of the world..."

Various answers have been formulated in response to the question, many of them humorous.

Answer 4

Generally eggs don't move and chickens do. Had you not noticed this? I notice what food does a lot, especially if its moving.

So I'd bet on the chicken.
But if both were to be fired from a suitable gun, I think the egg
would have least air resistance. Unless it was a frozen chicken.

They used to test plane windows (and trains) to see see if they could survive a bird-strike, by firing chickens at the windscreen.
Then one day someone used a frozen chicken and it destroyed the cockpit.

Answer 5

Chicken

Answer 6

If it was on flat land, I'm guessing the chicken, but however, if it was a downhill slope the egg would win as i think acceleration due to gravity on an egg is greater than a chicken can accelerate.

Answer 7

The Egg, cause without the egg the chicken would not be hatched

Answer 8

The chicken

Answer 9

well the thing inside the egg is dead so no chance of that winning, n the chicken is just plucked not dead, so it would be in a hell of alot of pain but ill go for th chicken!! which one did it?

Answer 10

If you designed a suitable ramp, the egg would win. The chicken wouldn't know which way to run unless you laid a trail of corn.
