Actually there is an easy way to verify whether an egg is hard boiled
or not. Spin it.

Because of internal resistance (the yolk will spin at a slower
speed than the shell or the white portion), the raw egg will not
spin as long as the hardboiled one. However, the differance in
spin time may not be enough to differentiate between a hard and
a soft boiled egg. Plus spinning each one of some one or two
thousand eggs would probably take too long.
