Pointed end if soft boiled. Hard boiled just smash it any old way.

Pointy end - that's what it's there for.

Do you think eggs have pointy ends to make their exits a bit less painful?

"Do you think eggs have pointy ends to make their exits a bit less painful?"

Don't they come out a little squishy and harden when the shell hits the air? Maybe the pointy end is the last bit out?

You mean as the hole is closing again it makes the pointy end?

They've certainly evolved that way. But like the scone question, isn't it just a matter of personal preference?

And, as a matter of interest, since the come out semi-plastic and pear-shaped, gravity is to blame!

Yes. Sort of snipping it off.

It must be quite a relief when the egg has finished being laid.

"It must be quite a relief when the egg has finished being laid."

From the Interweb Wiki:

In an average laying hen, the process of shell formation takes around 20 hours. Pigmentation is added to the shell by papillae lining the oviduct, coloring it any of a variety of colors and patterns depending on species. Since eggs are usually laid blunt end first, that end is subjected to most pressure during its passage and consequently shows the most color.

"If soft it's easier to dip soldiers in blunt end "

When it's hard, it's easier to dip into soldiers' blunt soft end.
