Formula for the perfect boiled egg (letter in the current issue of New Scientist):

Cooking time = (m 2/3) * [In(2 × (t - 100)) / (45 - 100)]/c

t = initial egg temperature in celsius
m = mass of egg in grams
C = a constant (3.758)

Alternative method: throw in boiling-ish water and take out when you don't want to wait any longer.

Screenshot of text: Try this formula for the perfect boiled egg Letters, 22 March From Seán Kelly, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, UK I have been reading with amusement the discussion on how to cook the perfect boiled egg. New Scientist put the matter to bed for me when the Last Word (13 June 1998) published a formula from reader Charles Williams for this. It went as follows: Cooking time = (m 2/3)) * [In(2 × (t - 100))(45 - 100)]/c, where t = initial egg temperature in celsius; m = mass of egg in grams and c is a constant. Having just started keeping hens, which don't produce uniformly weighted eggs, I experimented to determine the value of c (3.758) that resulted in eggs boiled to the doneness appreciated by my wife and me. The resulting chart is displayed on our fridge door for ready reference.

This explains why the US has an #egg shortage and other countries don't. It's about bird flu, and the size of egg-laying farms. When massive US farms are hit with flu, it means huge numbers of egg-laying chickens die - resulting in far fewer eggs.
Other countries tend to have much smaller chicken farms. So when one is hit with bird flu, it doesn't really impact the overall supply.

Sometimes you get birdies, and sometimes birdies get you. This Seriema looks like it loves golf, but it actually hates rival eggs and is trying to break them. You can see its surprise when these golf ball "eggs" bounce instead of break.

As #EggPrices soared, so did producer #profits

A #USDA program doled out hundreds of millions in relief payments to big egg companies, even as the largest earned record profits.

The #AvianInfluenza outbreak has had far-reaching consequences: >120M hens have been slaughtered & #egg #prices have risen to record levels. In his address to Congress, #Trump called the situation “out of control.”

Yet for some #corporate companies, these are good times.
