I don't have any right now but I typically take them out on opposite corners, then work towards the middle. Like this.

(1) (5) (9) (12) (8) (4)

(3) (7) (11) (10) (6) (2)

If you reverse your order, the carton will feel more stable in your hands as you use up your eggs. This is because the carton's mass density moves towards the outer edges, increasing the moment of inertia.

I'm fun at parties, I swear.

I disagree. I think you want to keep a small MOI because that allows you to control a tipping carton with the least amount of torque. At least that's how I've been justifying by method of taking from the outsides, in.

It's much harder to control a stick with weights in the ends, ESPECIALLY if the weights are unbalanced (which they will be unless you're only using even numbers of eggs. )

  1. We should hang out at parties.
  2. None of this matters in my real life because my wife is a chaos goblin who just grabs eggs from WHEREVER she pleases, almost like she's not even considering the mass moment of inertia at all!
