If a Roster sat on top of  a house that is shaped as a triangle, which way will the egg fall?? Left or Right?

I can't see your image, but if it is like any of these other pictures (see link), the problem is with the slopes of the triangles.  They may appear the same, but they aren't and that is where you lose a fraction of a square.  These small differences eventually add up to a full square if you rearrange things differently.\n\nThe key is in the slopes.\n\nI wish I could see the picture because I like area paradox puzzles like these.\n\n-----\n\nI'm back and can see your picture now... it is just like the first paradox in my link.\n\nThe answer, as I said is the slopes of the triangles.  One triangle has a rise of 2 for a run of 5 (slope = 0.40) and the other has a rise of 3 for a run of 8 (slope = 0.375).  So despite how it looks in the picture, that is not a straight line along the top.\n\nIn the top case, the slope causes a slight bend inward on that line.  In the bottom case, the slope causes a slight bend outward on that line.  If you take the difference between these two you get 1 sq. unit which accounts for the "missing" square.  The second link shows this visually.

Occasionally women have a pain when the egg is traveling down the fallopian tube. This pain will be even or lower than your belly button, on either the left or the right side (about 2-3 inches).

you need a parachute to slow down the egg.  wrap the egg in some kinda of foam, secure it with some tape.  attach the parachute to the rest and drop!

I can tell you that the absolute best container for an egg drop is a cardboard box filled with popcorn or styrofoam peanuts.  Trust me on this one.  Just make sure the egg is in the center of the container.

that is possibel only if your triangle abc is equilateral or isosceles. otherwise, that wouldn't happen:)

It's a right-angle triangle.

I watched Mythbusters do this.\n\nIf you dismiss Jamie's rule-bending by lowering it with string, Adam managed it by making a cone out of paper, weighting the point and putting the egg between two inflated rubber gloves.\n\nThe nose crumpled dissipating the energy with the gloves cushioning the egg when it fell sideways.\n\n\nAny variation on this theme would work - let me know if you need more.\n\nEnjoy.

i think its a triangle

Hint: the three side are equal long.\n\nTh

A circle is the strongest shape in the world. Thats why most bridged and tunnels have arc shaped ceilings. Eggs are not perfect ovals. one side is a wider angle than the other. This is to prevent the eggs from rolling off the nest or burrow or whatever.

The Rooster !\nWithout the Rooster, no chicken is going to lay no egg !!

The egg, because chickens are the result of evolution, so the egg is the correct answer

OOO, We did this project in IPC, except our was 20 meters -.-;;. You're ideal angle is 45 degrees. That usually gets you the farthest. It would be pretty smart to use elastic potential energy by using piece of bamboo or just a flexible stick (haha, flexible stick) or just a rubber band. Don't put anything on the egg. Our model was made with a giant rubber band that I found on the floor, and a little seat attached to the crossbow model. If your teacher is strict about a catapult model, your best bet would be to use the bamboo stick and research trebuchets.
