Lay it flat on a counter and spin the egg, then stop it.
A boiled egg will not resume its spin.
A raw egg will begin to spin gently again, since the mobile yolk will retain its momentum within the shell.

Spin the egg in question on a table. A hard boiled egg will spin easily and a raw egg will not.

Spin the egg on the counter or smooth surface. The hard boiled egg will spin for a long time whereas the raw egg won't spin well at all.

The hard boiled egg feels heavier than the raw one.

Spin the egg on its skinny, pointed end. if it spins, it's hard boiled. If it falls down and twirls, it's raw.

Ask the egg for a raise. If it flatly refuses to give you one, it's hard boiled.

spin the egg around...if it spins fast, it's cooked, it it spins slowly, it's raw...
