My hard boiled eggs are not peeling right. Who do I call and complain too. Probably the chickens fault.

Nah something I believe is going on with Amazon because a lot of peeps in reddit and the forums were talking about it yesterday.. Unless they gave out a fatty ass batch of masters.

its about making money. for no reason at all masters make more money whether they are a good worker or not.

I feel like I had a really long convo on mturk with someone before about this -- I was on the cold start train, but it turns out hot start is the way to go (boil the water fully before adding the eggs). I've had much better luck since I started doing that. Also let the eggs sit as long as possible in the ice water before peeling.


also good morning Crowd, I was up way too early with pregnancy insomnia

This is true. I am grateful that I have the qual but I do believe it is not awarded for hard work or time put in. It's more like they put numbers in a hat and draw every now and then. I still remember when I was turking hard everyday and got 10,000+ approved and no masters, yet someone who had been on mturk part time for like 3 months with like 2k approved got it. They posted their stats and were just as confused as everyone else.

They gave me masters when I already had it for over a year. I am a double master.

Take the egg and roll it on its side with some pressure on it and you can pop both ends of the shell off.
