Egg drop from 4th floor with newspaper, string and masking tape

[ilyphysicsduh]

we are required to do an egg drop. all we are allowed to use is 2 news paper spreads, 2 m string, and masking tape. what's the best way to use these materials in order to be able to drop a hardboiled egg from a 4th floor without any cracks. thanks!
