Eggsquizit

When my wife was at school she went to the Egg Marketing Board on a Work Experience scheme. She enjoyed it very much.

Now it's probably important for people who work in egg-packing that they become very familiar with eggs and not get them mixed up with other things.

Could you be an egg-packer? To find out how good you'd be, here are nine pictures... can you say which ones are eggs? Just list the letters you think are eggs and I'll show you which ones are just bald heads later.

I know where this is headed, stupid EU telling the UK not to produce rectangular eggs !

a) head
b) head
c) could be anything, not sharp enough
d) head
e) egg
f) head
g) egg
h) egg
i) egg

I guess in reality i would be able to distinguish them quite quickly when trying to pack..

John Travolta is therefore declared "egghead of the week", because his head is an egg

I had none of them correct.

It can also be done the hard way-Those candidate that doesn't fight you while you try to put it into a pot with water is an egg.

It is a bit difficult as we don't have scale or environment, both of which an egg worker would have. How many times to people in the egg industry only see a side view of a small fraction of eggs and have to make decisions on what is and ain't an egg?

Eichhörnchen · 12-09-16, 10:20 AM

If they were short people, like elves for instance, then they would only be able to see the tops of the eggs and so would have to make their best guess... so why can't you? (I am an equal-opportunities eggspert)

Geez Eich, the longer I know you, the more eggstroverted you seem to become
