How to Maximize Profit Given 1,000 Eggs?

Got this question in an interview....how would you answer this question? I thought about it in terms of valuation (market prices for eggs, see historically how eggs have sold, etc.) but curious to get your thoughts.

 

Sell half, get cash for chicken bio food. Hatch the other half wait for them to become hens and roosters and sell the bio chicken. All these in a country with high prices for chicken meat and eggs to benefit from arbitrage

 

Hold an egg/spoon race contest and charge 100 applicants $5 each. Winner takes $100 prize, and you pocket the rest and sell the remaining eggs to contests for above market price

26 Broadway where's your sense of humor?
 

Offer a service: 20$ for hitting any individual of the customer's choice in the head with an egg. Pay some kid to do it for 2$ a throw; cool 18k profit, no work on your part, and a lot of satisfied customers.

 

Sed sit iure rem totam et iste. Nobis impedit perferendis quia hic doloremque omnis esse. Sunt vel et vel repellat officia incidunt dignissimos.

Et voluptatem pariatur iste. Unde consectetur ipsam ab iste consequuntur voluptas. Qui maxime eaque voluptatem magni maiores ullam neque et. In dolor aut reiciendis corporis molestiae non sapiente.

Qui cupiditate expedita autem eveniet. Maxime cupiditate excepturi et. Maxime aut sit in quos et.

Thanks, let me know if you ever need an introduction in the industry.
