This challenge is inspired by the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke where the main character, played by Paul Newman, bets that he can eat 50 hard boiled eggs in an hour. You should watch the film, it’s a classic, so I’m not going to give the game away, however despite the movie outcome, TV scientists have in times past said that it is an impossible challenge to complete. This made me extra nervous that we would only have half the time Paul Newman had to complete the same task. Anyway, here’s my attempt to eat 50 eggs in half an hour.
