3. Screw the lid back on the jar - tightly.
4. Let this sit for at least one week.
5. After a week has passed;
6. Drain the vinegar from the jar.

What happened to the eggshell?
The vinegar (acid) dissolves the eggshell and leaves you with a rubbery
egg. You can bounce the egg; but do not drop from a high height.
