Is it possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk if it’s hot enough?
Answer: Yes, theoretically. But it doesn’t actually get hot enough. “This question comes from the saying “It’s so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk!” How many kids, hearing it, actually try? Most likely they end up with a mess resembling scrambled eggs more than one sunny-side up. So what’s the problem?”
