TEST OF AN EGG
Some folks who wore going on a picnic got- one raw egg mixed up with the cold boiled ones, and did not know how to detect it without breaking them all. A visitor was equal to the emergency. He took an egg between his fingers and his thumb, he twirled it on the table and spun it like a top. ' That egg,' said he, ' has been "boiled.' Another was tried with the same result, and then he found one that he could ltot make spin. ' That,' said he, 'is the raw egg,' and so the puzzle was solved.
