Hi forumers,
Guess it's not too late to wish our Chinese friends a prosperous new year. What really amazed me every year during a day known as 'Lap Chun' in Chinese calender is whereby someone will be able to 'stand' an (or more) egg(s) and they believed it can only be done on that day only. Does anyone knows what's the scientific explaination behind? |

QUOTE(dkk @ Feb 8 2012, 08:18 AM) the explanation is people are just too lazy to actually go and carry out the experiment (looking at you you're wrong! i did experimented it successfully until today! ). So they just assume the claim is true.I don't believe it is.  |

QUOTE(faceless @ Feb 10 2012, 08:57 AM) TS, it was a Sat.Which day is lap chun? Added on February 17, 2012, 11:36 pm QUOTE(dkk @ Feb 14 2012, 10:24 PM) I've tried it. It took about 5 minutes. Can be done on the pointed end. will post a pic soon.I cannot get the egg to balance on the pointed end *AT ALL*. But I don't really have the patience to do this. Not even on the round end. I took that pix after I gave up. But how do you explain the pic? Guess how I cheated. This post has been edited by frankzane: Feb 17 2012, 11:36 PM |
