Re: Egg drop Contest- Help Please!!

Ok, I just checked the rules for my school's upcoming egg drop (excuse me...egg "deceleration"...) contest. I'm mad that my idea is illegal. Particularly becuase they upped first prize to $2500. With that, you will prove my idea for me.

Suspend the egg in some sort of viscous fluid. The force that would normally be directed to one side of the egg should be distributed evenly along the entire surface of the egg. The problem is that the fluid has to be viscous but still fairly light. I think some sort of dilluted corn syrup might work.
