Did you guys see my message up there?

I was thinking maybe a small tetrahedron around the egg, and then another one maybe an inch or so out, and so on until I run out of straws. I would of course be securing everything with tape. And yes we can cut the straws. The first drop is eight feet high, and and going up from there...

We are dropping the device with the egg

Okay, here's the deal: I am doing an egg drop tomorrow in my physics class. We are allowed only 25 straws, and scotch tape to do it. What would be the most effective structure to use for this? By the way, my teacher didn't tell us of any limit on the amount of tape we were allowed to use.
