I looked around and from what I read it says that four teaspoons of salt to one cup of water should make the egg float. It also says that you should add one teaspoon of salt at a time, increasing the water's density, until the egg floats. You might just need more salt.

fixed

yeah more salt, salt water is more dense that regular water, and that is what is in eggs. it will float....or else it's not working cuz it's getting close to 2012.

An interesting (or not) trivia fact, any unfertilized egg, no matter how big, is only a single cell. The ostrich egg is the largest cell on the planet.
