Well, I had mis-remembered the rules of that particular contest because 
I thought much more time was available. But even so, I thought the time 
to get a hard-boiled egg was closer to 6 minutes. But I went and looked 
it up, and you are indeed correct. So, if the time limit is indeed ten 
minutes, then I guess no hard-boiled eggs. :-) Maybe poached?

By the way, my book also said that you didn't actually want to boil the 
water with the eggs in it because they are likely to bounce against 
each other and break. But then, I imagine there are many ways to boil 
eggs. Several can be found in the Florilegium eggs-msg file.
