Egg drop with only toothpicks and TP?

Question

A friend of mine has been assigned an egg drop project, which is where you drop an egg out of a third story window and have it land without breaking by a)wrapping it up in something or b) making a parachute. The only problem is, his teacher will only let him use 10 sheets of toilet paper and toothpicks for the project (plus glue). Any ideas? thanks!

Answer 1

If you can freeze the egg (not against the rules), you can drop the egg and it will not break. However, the egg will likely break in the freezing process.

Good Luck

I had to do this project years ago (more materials though ) and did not pass. That was where I found out about freezing eggs.
