THE GREAT RADICH
EGG DROP CHALLENGE
2009
The challenge is to transport a raw egg from the platform on the fore mast as far back on the ship as possible without the egg breaking.
- You may use any materials aboard the ship, however you must have permission of the person responsible for them (eg: bosun, engineer, cooks or the sergeant)
- There is a good chance that your egg may end up overboard – so ensure that you only use things you can afford to loose
- The egg and it’s protective packaging must be thrown from the platform and can not be attached to any part of the ship, or another person
- Teams should be between 5 & 7 people and as international as possible!
- Before the egg drop, each team will give a presentation about the science of their design – points will be awarded for the best presentation
(to be the best you should include all of your group and make it as funny as possible)
- Finally to win the egg must be whole and raw when it is collected from the deck (this will be tested!)
