Works equally well both equinoxes (very easy,) and, with a little more patience, about 3 days either side. Almost impossable more than 5 days eiither side of an equinox.Maybe, if you tried 100 or so …

Didn't even know when equinox was. People were putting pictures on Facebook so I gave it a try. It was March 7 so about 13 days early and it stood up with no problem. I grabbed my iphone and snapped …

Every Single Day of the Year
I do this as a demonstration to prove I'm right almost every time someone tries to tell me that you can only stand an egg during the equinox. I've probably done it during every month of the year by n…

Both Spring and Fall

Both equinoxes are equally (lol) good. I have balanced eggs both on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes for many years. While it is true that you can balance one on other days, it is much easier, in my…
