Naked Egg Drop- Any Experience?

No, this is not about Skinny-dipping!!!

I have a physics project where I need to drop a grade-A large egg from 7 meters into a "catcher" The catcher has no restrictions except that the first thing the egg touches cannot be over 10 cm high. I get extra points for a working catcher under 5 cm. No points if egg bounces and breaks on concrete or for missing the catcher. No hard-boiled eggs.


Any experience shared would be appreciated. I would like to cut down on research and development time if possible. I have until 3-21-06 to complete this.

My thoughts;
1. choclate pudding
2. sheet with small weights on corners draped over a 10cm box-possibly with a low density foam instead of a bottom, just sidewalls on box.
3. Soak egg in a solution rendering it more elastic-last option.
4. layered sheets of paper with 1/2cm spacing.
