Why is it hard to boil an egg on top of mount Everest?
In Charlottesville, an egg left in boiling water for 10 minutes becomes a firm, "hard boiled" egg. On the top of Mount Everest, with a height of 29,029 feet, an egg left in boiling water remains soft indefinitely. The egg fails to cook on Mount Everest because
(A) water boils at low temperature when the air pressure is very low.
(B) water boils at low temperature when gravity is weak.
(C) water has poor thermal conductivity when its pressure is very low.
(D) an egg cannot get very hot when gravity is weak.

What is the mass of Mount Everest?
If we take a cone as a simplified shape of Everest, then we can use the following
formula to calculate its volume:
V = 1/3*pi*R^2*H
Here: http://www.the-aps.org/publications/tphys/legacy/1982/issue1/36.pdf - you can find a picture with the height and base of the Everest (from which we can get the radius):
H = 8848 m
R = 16093 m
then:
V = 2398.5 cubic km
mass is calculated from density of the rock and volume. Everest mainly consists of
limestone (~2.6 kg/cubic m) with layers of dolomite (~2.85 kg/cubic m).
Then
m = p*V = 2.7 (kg/cub. m)* 2398.5 (cub. km) = 6.5 *10^12 kg
If you want know the weight P, then
P = m*g - where the vector-g is the g-force.
