Good one, Warrigal! And educational.
“It is actually something that we do pretty regularly with the children in our WaterStart summer camp when they are doing their advanced diver certification,” Mr Hunter said. “We use the egg to get across the idea of pressure. The deeper you go in the ocean, the deeper the pressure.

Very good !!!

I had a boiled egg (in shell) in my lunchbox at work one day
A workmate thought he would trick me by switching for a fresh one
Had an idea something was afoot so spun the egg It wobbled all over the place so knew it was a fresh one (hard boiled spins freely)
