Re: Egg Drop Contest

I had to do this once. I was thinking about designing a parachute and some airbags, but after thinking a long time I found the PERFECT mechanism. Here are the step-by-step instructions

1. Go to your school's mailroom and get a box for an empty ream of copier paper.
2. Go around to all the laser printers and collect as much standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper as you can. Reams of paper where the pages are attached work the best.
3. Put half a ream of paper in the bottom of the box. Put egg on top, put the other half ream on top of that.
4. If you have any extra room fill it with bricks. Your whole school building is probably made of bricks and chances are they can spare a few.
5. Obtain a sharpie or other permanent marker.
6. Using letters several inches high name your creation "THE PHOENIX"
