It takes about 7 to 8 minutes to hard boil a medium size hens egg, an extra minute or two will do no harm is all you are going to do is paint the egg. If you need to be sure it is hard boiled then all you need to do is spin the egg on a flat surface, if it is hard boiled it will spin on end, because the contents are solid, if it is only part cooked then it will wobble because part of the egg is still liquid.

Can you draw with a sharpie on a hard boiled egg and then eat it?

Yes, you can. At Easter time, you see all the pretty painted eggs and you can crack them and eat them. Sharpie's dont go through paper, unless you leave it on there for a long time, so why would they go through an egg. But you do need to hard boil it before you start marking on them. :) Hope this helps!
