Challenge information

Alternative Success

"Good god!"

You may not be an ornithologist, but you can be reasonably certain that a human arm is not the usual thing found in an egg. Is this not, in fact, an egg? Could it be the pellet from some man-eating owl?

Failure

Not even any meat on it

The egg falls apart to reveal a long, thick bone. […] not much immediate use to you. […] Londoners can find a use for anything.

Or, you might discover that it has greater value […] You'd need the time, a laboratory, and the right equipment.

Some kind of prank?
