No matter the number of eggs...
Place eggs in pan. Add cold water to cover eggs. Bring water to a boil. As water starts to boil, turn off heat and let stand on stove for 15 minutes. Fresher eggs are more difficult to peel, so don't take this as a sign that something is wrong if you find the egg coming off with the shell. Remove shell under cold water.
Perfect boiled eggs.
Yumm!

Dyslexia-How should this be part of the abortion thread??!
An eatable egg is an egg thats not been fertilized, same way a woman has a period, a period is a the result of an unfertilized human egg.
Basically, eggs are chicken periods.

Well material girl I will now never be able to eat an egg again. Thinking of them as pre-formed chickens was so much easier.
However you did answer in a round about way why some vegetarians eat eggs but not chickens and why some Catholics feel (pre-Vatican2) that eating eggs on Friday was okay but eating a bucket of KFC was not.

Fertilized eggs are edible.
Should this go on a cannibalism thread?

So, is there an answer to this riddle?
I'm thinking too logically at the moment, since if they are all in the same pan it would still take three minutes.

Of course one of the missing ingredients from this thing (unless I missed it, which I may have done) is the size of the eggs in question for the boiling. Are they small, medium, large, jumbo? The size will also be needed to determine overall cooking time.

Yes. It takes longer to boil goose eggs, however, if you want them to taste good, there is no length of time possible to describe in order to achieve such an aim.
Question: Why is a knot on the head described as a goose egg? Why not a duck egg which more resembles it more in size. And why are zero scores described as goose eggs and not duck eggs? Do the ducks need better representation? Is their agent not returning calls?
Off to breakfast.

Ducks, shmucks. What about the ostriches? They get a raw deal too, ya know. No claim to fame for them. They can't even get an agent. Seems there's always something disagreeable about their headshots, for Heevens sakes.
Enjoy your breakfast, carniverous Joe.

eggs
To answer the original question: if we were assuming a proportional relationship between the number of eggs and the amount of time it takes to boil them...then a possible answer would be 15 minutes. If it takes 3 minutes to boil one egg, then it would take 15 minutes to boil 5 eggs. But of course, it depends on how you like your eggs :wink:
