I've got the egg of Columbus

I think Christopher Columbus cheated - when you smash an egg, the content leaks - not breaking the egg was the implicit premise. The thing is, you don't have to break it to make it stand, turns out there is a way to do it, there is no need to crack it open, inject anything whatsoever, it's actually quite simple.



Okay, mine doesn't stand, but it sticks, and I will make it stand at the tip end next time.
