What is the optimal order of removing eggs from a 12-egg carton when making 3-egg omelets? I'm looking for an elegant solution with a reasonably balanced center of gravity at all times. Picrel is my current strategy.

The best solution is to grow some balls and start eating adult sized omelets.

Alrighty.
After the 3rd ommy you could transfer an egg as shown to keep them more centered if you want.

[Anonymous No.20537418]

>>20537409
That involves an extra step and lacks any form of symmetry but I appreciate the novelty of it. I'll see if it suits my personality next time around.

[Anonymous No.20537425]

>>20537418
You don't have to do the transfer if you don't want. I just like the carton balanced and your current strategy leaves it back heavy after #1.
Also I like the pattern of mine when it's half through.
Picrel is what I usually do because I use 2 eggs for carbonara or with toast/potatoes and bacon most of the time.

That is very pleasing. I might move to 5x6 egg carton for more fun.

Just take the 3 eggs closest to you. What is this, autism?

>>20537366
Everyone ITT needs to calm down. Once you go under eight eggs you store them in a medium sized bowl until it’s down to the two or three you can keep safe loose in the fridge door, do you guys really keep the carton until the last two eggs?

[Anonymous No.20537670]

That person is holding an even number of eggs anon, unless one of the eggs contains another whole egg like picrel but that is pretty rare.

You're a retard. Going from one end to the other and keeping the loaded end as the one you grab makes the most sense.

Yes that Anon...
I was joking...a riff on Autists who will NOT eat certain shapes..
But yeah.. Honestly, I eat 4-6 eggs in a sitting. But it's usually just that and some slices of organic homemade bread--or possibly on top of pan-fried shredded potatoes or...

I just take them out in order. what the fuck do you need a balanced center of gravity for? the carton just sits on a shelf in the fridge, you take out the eggs you want, it doesn't even leave the fridge. I don't understand.

It’s astounding how many fatasses are in this thread, if you didn’t know any better you’d think eating three entire eggs with a meal was some kind of normal thing and not complete gluttony.

OK OP here's what I got for you. This method maintains the center of gravity as close to the middle as possible at every stage, and when asymmetry is required it keeps the weight towards the back (hinge side) of the carton. I'm assuming rearrangement is not permitted, if it is then a different method is called for.

[Anonymous No.20539946]

eggs sharing the same number need not be removed at the same time. the eggs share numbers simply to indicate that it does not matter which of the two eggs sharing a given number are removed first. by distributing the mass at the extreme ends rather than the center you increase the energy needed to rotate the container. if instead of using the pictured method one were to take the end-most eggs first and work their way in it would be either to tip the container over. this method keeps the center of mass in the spacial center of the container and increases the amount of energy required to tip the container when compared to other methods. this method is the best.

Just the eggs, anon, every morning. I have my instant coffee beforehand, but that's literally nothing since I'm not putting sugar in it.

>>20537366
Alright, I’m going to suggest a bold opening gambit to maintain symmetry and CoG, but it requires either not closing the lid, removing it altogether.

[Anonymous No.20540936]

>>20540175
That's an obvious foul anon. And you certainly can't cut (or glue) the box.

[Anonymous No.20540943]

>>20537991
came here to say this. take the eggs from the far side so the weight is always in the front. also, a proper omelette needs at least 4 eggs.

The solution is to cut the carton in half when you buy it to create two 2x3 containers. From there it’s easy with a triangle sampling strategy

[Anonymous No.20541003]

>>20537366
I only buy 18 egg cartons.

[Anonymous No.20541040]

>>20537366
I go from the back to the front, so the center of gravity is maintained near the front third of the box, as that's where I grab the box to remove it from the shelf. The foremost eggs in the box are the last to go.
