because the shape of the egg lengthways destributes the pressure so that it becomes very strong.

Essentially, it's like if you make a hollow tube out of a piece of paper, if you push the sides it will be weak. but you will be able to sit books on top of the cyclinder.

How long does it take for an egg to break in your hand?

My belief of an egg breaking in your hand is ... 1 The thickness of the egg shell. 2. Chicken or duck or other. 3. The amount of pressure inserted upon the egg. And, 4 Which way the egg is held. ( End to end or sideways. ) Another unknown would most likely be the temperature of the egg itself at that time. Answer: Unknown - Too many unknown variables to give a precise answer.

How do you drop a real egg on a concrete floor without breaking it?

If that's a riddle, then the answer is: Any way you want! However you drop the egg, you won't break the concrete floor!! Hey, it doesn't say "without breaking THE EGG"!!!!! :D But if that's NOT a riddle, which it probably is, you would have to hold the egg REALLY LOW, and I mean REALLY, and then drop it. Or, you could try wrapping the egg with stuff like bubble wrap, or putting a carpet on the concrete floor. But, usually this is just a funny joke! :)
