BALANCING AN EGG ON PENCIL NIB

It's amazing what people can do, when you think something is impossible. How about erecting an egg on a pencil nib....sounds impossible but not for Cui Shifu from China.

Cui Shifu, who was a lorry driver, wanted to kill time during traffic jam. And he devised an interesting way to kill time....by erecting an egg  which he carried with him to eat on the road.  He enjoyed this past time and spent years practising the art and he could erect egg on plain ground. The most difficult challenge for him was erecting an egg on a pencil nib, which he mastered over time (and ofcourse broke many eggs during the course of his experiment).  At a challenge scene, Cui Shifu, used a pencil nib less than one millimeter. He fixed the pencil on desk first and then picked up one egg with his hands to find weight point and supporting point and erected the egg on the pencil nib, quite calmly!
