advice

each year for easter my family gets together and has an egg drop contest. for those who don't know what an egg drop contest is, it's where you make kindof an apparatus for a raw egg so that it doesn't crack when thrown off a building. in the past years i haven't been too lucky with the contest and i was wondering what may be some good suggestions for it?

**please nothing about peanut butter, packing peanuts, jello, or balloons. i've tried all of these and they've failed me in the past

my brother recently did this in his physics class. YEs his didnt break and it did require balloons so ill skip that. But one thing you could try, which may or may not work, is to put it in a box of small rocks, and wen it is tossed make sure it is in an area that it wont have a huge impact. it sounds odd but it really did work!!! hopefully it does, and if you dont like that idea, you honestly dont need to use it. hope the advice wokrs though.
