Sure

What’s your preference?

Seeing as it's 60 eggs, I would like for it to be divided between a few omelettes, some scrambled eggs, some sunny-side-up eggs, and some Japanese cheesecake.

It's more you have to eat though if you're throwing in other ingredients.

True, but I don't think I could eat 60 eggs in a row without getting sick of the taste.

If I knew it was theoretically possible for a person to consume (and keep down) 60 eggs in such a short period, I would give it a go. While I do love a good Scotch Egg, I would probably have to eat them on their own since adding other ingredients would just make it unnecessarily harder. I'd also probably look to starve myself for 24-48 hours beforehand just to ensure I had as much room as possible.

Indeed

There’s an important strategic balance

If you just eat the eggs by themselves with not much flavoring, prep or other materials it’s easy to get sick of it and fail the challenge. However, it keeps the total volume to be eaten low.

Meanwhile, over prepping and adding improves flavor but adds to the total that you are eating.

You can also dehydrate them, and turn 60 eggs into about half a box of especially nasty cheez-its

60 eggs, yeah, I'm in.

BUT if it were 60 vegetables, I would demand 60 billion dollars.

Yeah I’d get really sick of the taste

At 3 boiled eggs I’m already saying “No More Please!”

There isn’t a limit to the type of eggs you can eat so maybe you could use a third to make omelettes, another third to make boiled eggs, and the last third to make scrambled eggs.

Wait so if I vomit it goes down to 30 million but do I have to eat the eggs again? Can I just eat ten eggs then vomit six times in a row for 30 million?

What I meant was that if you eat 60 eggs but vomit any part of those eggs out, then the reward would be 30 million

If you vomit whilst in the process of eating 60, then it just depends on whether you w technically eaten 60 eggs or not by the end of it

You don’t have to re-eat eggs you vomited provided you ate them completely the first time

If you eat 60 and vomit our 60, 30 mil

If you eat 60, you threw up 13... 30 mil

I'm concerned about the health risks but if I eat 2.5 eggs every hour...doesn't sound as bad.

Can I do it in the hospital where they can immediately pump out the eggs from my stomach?

Come on, you can eat 2 1/2 egg omelettes an hour right?

well, it should be part of the challenge that the eggs take up the stomach space =)

why would this change your answer?

Sure I'll do it. Hell, I'll just make egg salad and potato salad and it'll be gone in 3 hours or less guaranteed.

As I mentioned earlier, it is easily possible. Even in under 10 minutes - the world record is over 140 in 8 mins.

So then what happens if you actually did what Gaston did irl?

4 dozen eggs every day as a kid... 5 dozen eggs every day as an adult?

Would this result in problems?

Would you become large and strong?

Eventually. That is an absurd amount of cholesterol.

EDIT: Experts disagree on exactly how many eggs are healthy for an adult to eat, but the general consensus is that between 7-12 a week is okay. And more than that will cause heart problems.
