Put the on a flat surface, then give each egg a quick spin. Hard boiled eggs should keep spinning for a longer time. This happens because the interior of the egg is solid, while in the uncooked eggs the liquid inside sloshes around, slowing the egg.

Sure you can. Since a fresh egg is fluid inside and a hard boiled egg is solid inside, an attempt to spin them (like on a counter top) will only succeed with the boiled egg.

AnswerPlace the egg on its side on a flat surface. *Spin* the egg. If it spins in place, without much wobbling it's boiled. If the egg wobbles greatly, even moving away from the spot you placed it, it's uncooked.

This works because an uncooked egg has a "loose" yolk inside, surrounded by a liquid. The yolk, when the egg is spun, will make the egg unstable by moving within the egg. A hard boiled egg is completely solid inside and will spin with little, if any, "wobbling".

Additional Information: I tried this and they all spun and all moved around - however, the boiled eggs spun much faster than the fresh eggs.

All you need to do is spin the egg on a flat surface, you will need plenty of space in which to spin the egg, if the egg is raw it will wobble because the contents are still liquid, if it is hard boiled it will spin on end, because the contents are solid.

in a unboiled egg, if you spin it and it will spin in one spot ( if you spin it properly)

if it's a boiled egg; the egg will spin and move.
