If you put them all in the same pan and boil them at the same time then the same time it would take to boil one egg, so the answer is 3 to 4 minutes for soft boiled eggs, 6 to 7 minutes for hard boiled eggs. Refresh the hard boiled eggs in cold water after cooking to stop a black ring forming around the yolk.
Actually scrambled eggs are more popular than hard boiled eggs and soft boiled eggs. And hard boiled eggs are as popular as soft boiled eggs
I like my eggs hard boiled. The water boiled in the pot.
boiled water
Yes, whole eggs can be hard boiled.
The black ring forms if you do not refresh to egg immediately after cooking, as soon as the eggs are boiled pour off the hot water and put the eggs under a cold running tap for a few minutes, this quickly cools the eggs and prevents the black ring, magic.
This is a fairly minor point of usage, but if you say hard boiled eggs you could be interpretted as saying that the eggs are both hard and boiled, when what you really mean is that the eggs were hard-boiled, which is to say, boiled for a longer time than they would be if you wanted soft-boiled eggs. So you can use the hyphen.

A system that heats up your water and boils food, such as hard boiled eggs
To boil them yes, otherwise no I store them in the fridge in an unused egg carton marked "Boiled".
You can put them right into the fridge. It'll make the refrigerator work a little harder to cool them off, but there's no food-related reason not to. This assumes you're leaving them in the shell. If you're peeling first, it always helps to put them in cold water first anyway.
For perfect hard-boiled eggs (eggs that are fully cooked but not dry, and without a grey ring around the yolk), place uncooked eggs in a saucepan large enough to accomodate them. Fill the saucepan with COLD water - eggs should be completely covered, plus one additional inch of water. Cover the saucepan, and place over high heat. As soon as the water begins to boil, *immediately* remove the saucepan from the heat. Set the timer for 10 minutes, and let the eggs sit (leave the cover on). Meanwhile, fill a bowl large enough to hold all the eggs with cold water and ice cubes. When the timer rings, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice water with a slotted sppon. Let sit for 5 minutes. Done! Perfect hard-boiled eggs!
