Nope, not true. Just another dumb myth, like water rotates one way going down the drain north of the equator and the opposite way south of the equator. Take a look at this website for explanations ==>http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/egg_spin.html

No, those are folk tales from various European countries that claim only on the March equinox (some include the September equinox), you can balance an egg on its point.
But you can balance an egg on its point any day of the year if you have the patience.

No, not true. I have balanced eggs on Solstices, as well as other times of the year.

No. You can balance an egg on its end anytime. Give it a try.
