How can I drop an uncooked egg approximately 2 stories with it breaking? I have tried peanut butter, marshmallow, suspending it in an elastic cradle inside a wiffle ball, nothing seems to work, any ideas???

I'm not sure if you have any restrictions on material you can use. But 2 years ago I did an egg drop project and made a small container of jello then scooped out of the middle to fit the egg and put some jello back on top some cotton to fill in the rest of the hole.
It landed with such a thud that everyone laughed cuz they KNEW it broke.. but we pulled out a completely unbroken egg.
