Gluesticks

how would u design an egg drop contraption with only white glue, popsicle sticks and newspaper?

i was thinking of making a hollow triangular prism, and i would have newspaper strandds coming out from the corners, and somehow attach it to the egg. Do you think that this would fail the egg thing will have to be dropped from two floors onto the ground.

1. Is this for a contest where you have to build a container to protect the egg when it's dropped from a ladder or the top of the school? Think of it this way. You have 2 strategies to follow. Either slow the egg down when it lands, so that it doesn't break, or keep the egg from moving very fast in the first place. That means either a cushion when it lands, or a parachute or streamer of some kind to slow it.
2. Well you could roll the newspaper pages into cylinder shapes and stick them together with glue, you could then stick a Popsicle stick through the first newspaper cylinder, put the egg in the cylinder so the egg gets stopped by the Popsicle stick and then when you want the egg to roll down the newspaper chute just release the Popsicle stick.
