Interesting... what makes the egg 🥚 move away from the object?

The object has nothing to do with it. Remove the object and the same will happen. It has to do with the egg itself. It has an asymmetrical shape which causes unequal water pressure on different parts of the shell. Also, an egg has an air bubble inside it that can move, as well as the egg white and yolk moving that changes its centre of gravity. The water itself also pushes back against the eggs asymmetrical shape, causing it to veer off course.

I bet she’s called Alpha Omega coz she was the first amd last

🔥🔥🔥🙌

She thought she had a strategy 😂😂😂

The egg doesn’t fall straight into the glass because of fluid dynamics. Water resists the egg’s motion — it pushes it sideways, slows it down, and creates currents that divert its path. In simple terms: water isn’t empty space, it’s a medium that exerts force, so objects inside it don’t always follow a straight line. Physics in action!

It’s pressure it pushes the water going down with gets repelled then in turn shifts it.

Spin the egg as you drop it. It will disrupt the positive pressure the shot glass produces because it’s higher then the bottom of the tank

I hear you, but don't you find the color of those eggs sus?

This is really a very hard game. Only 20% chance to win

How did you calculate 20% ?

Spinn the egg and it will drop straight down

@georgematta Oh

Fluid dynamics, pressure effects

oh

Lo and behold!

As the egg enters the water, it has to accelerate a "bubble" or volume of water along with it (the water doesn't instantly get out of the way). Because water is much denser than air (~800× denser), this added mass is large compared to the egg's own mass. The egg slows down very quickly upon entry, but the sudden momentum transfer creates strong local flows and pressure gradients around it.

It’s displacement. Water is being moved out of the way for the egg to move. As water molecules gets pushed towards the glass, the water molecules IN the glass get moved out, moving all other molecules around it. The underwater current of those molecules moving pushes on the egg.

Science kids please come explain to use

This is not a refraction problem. As you can see that the deflection only takes place as the egg gets very close to the cup. What’s happening here is that the intermolecular bond which has been breaking since the egg first touched the water have refused to break inside the cup as the cup forms a resistance against dispersion and as a result, an opposite force pushes the egg away.

Viscosity.

follow back

already fam

I truly don't know why but the girl with the afro did hit the object with one of her attempts

Pure refraction illusion. Light bends like crazy going air → water → glass → air, so your eyes see the glass in the WRONG spot. They’re aiming off without knowing.

If the egg is in water, it move away from an object due to water currents, density differences, or buoyancy. If the object is denser than the egg, it sink, creating a current that moves the egg away 🌊.

because there is a chick inside

She's been the must accurate among them happy she finally nailed it.

Its geometry

I just learnt something from the comment section

Do they not know how much eggs cost right now 😅😅

It's called structured water. Put spin on the egg to overcome it.

The egg displaces the area of water below it as it moves downward and the small cup being concave reflects that wave of water back upward thus moving the egg away from the cup as it gets closer. Not impossible to get the egg in the cup but highly unlikely. Carnivals had this game

That is called object friction. The air pressure of the glass shifts objects from its path

Physics.. the pressure on that around the cup surface, makes it hard for it to enter

The eggs no dey finish 🙃

The egg keeps dodging the cup because of a classic optical illusion caused by refraction. When you look through the water, light bends at the air-water and water-glass boundaries (Snell's law in action), so your brain thinks the cup is several centimeters closer or in a slightly different position than it actually is. You're basically aiming at a mirage version of the cup → egg misses → repeat frustration 😭

Are they real eggs?

@grok is possible for the egg to fall right into the object ?
