Well, usually it takes hundreds of sperm to penetrate the outer shell of the egg. They usually battle (I.E. they push and ram each other out of the egg) until there are very few sperm left , at this point the other sperm meets one of three fates. One; they die and are absorbed into the body. Two; they die and are urinated out. Three; if they are lucky there another egg, the sperm can live for up to three days and thus another egg within three days a the first fertilization will mean they get to fertilize it.
