i dont think eggs explode in microwaves
they do if you leave them in to long the best trick i found is to stop it when its half done wait a minute then finish it
it was set to defrost?
never even heard of this myth. have mythbusters done it?
I thought he'd put a hole in it or blown out the yolk and white. Good job on the teaser!
soo easy. i took about 1-2 minutes. then i hit show answer and before the page even loaded, i figured it out. Great job. Keep making teasers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so easy
eggs dont explode in microwaves
I thought he cracked the egg first
To the "Eggs don't explode in microwaves" crowd- sorry to rain on your mythology, but they do explode - I have done it in a moment of thoughtless stupidity. As to the teaser,(Yaaaawwnnn) too obvious -the egg could also have been fried, or scrambled pre-insertion, it might have been wooden or stone, or a glass darning egg (Ask your Grandma)
I tried to warm up some peeled, hard-boiled eggs in the microwave at work and they blew up with a bang! Plus I had a big mess to clean up! And no lunch!
Hahah, Clever
Here is a trick to play on someone. Warm up a hard boiled egg in the microwave. Serve it to someone on April 1st if possible. When they stick their fork in it, it will explode egg all over.
Very cute but easy. Going on my favorites for my easy-to-stump friends.
I never knew eggs exploded in microwaves! Gotta try this sometime!
All jokes aside, very easy teaser (got it right away), but I'm good at this category. I liked it!

i actually got it althougth there are multiple answers...
Too easy.
hmmmmmmm.. I thought it was because it was scrambled or fried or already out of its shell
Two things:
1. To those that wonder if eggs even explode in the first place, yes, they do. My sister put an egg in the microwave once, and when it was done, poked it with a fork. Air had built up in pockets throughout the egg and when punctured, like a balloon, exploded. She was o.k. though.
2. I would have said it was punctured before being placed in the microwave but that is also a solution...

what type of egg is it when you cook it in the microwave(Ex: Scrambled, hard boiled, soft boiled, etc.
I thought maybe the power setting was low, but your answer is beter!
lol clever
I thought that the answer was something like 'it was a leftover scrambled egg.'
my thoughts: Uhhhhhhh... becoause it's stupid. of it was a darning egg.
I'm so smart.
I'm so smart.

The egg could have been an easter egg.

the microwave could also have been broken (as in it turns on, but won't actually heat stuff---my grandma's did that once )
Easy Too EASY
Easy...
The teaser will be hard for those who don't read carefully. If you do read carefully, you'll notice that teasers in Tricks often leave out certain points...Btw, it was quite easy. Got it immediately.
Wow. I have fallen in love with this one.
Haha! I got the answer pretty quickly, but I'm STILL chuckling! I'm gonna use this one on my sister.
Easy-peasy. But I really want to try exploding eggs now
Got it right! Great teaser. In my favorites.
Eassyy
