interesting, but do you really want to fuss with all of that every time?
I have my own method that works for me. I make 4 X-large eggs at a time, pretty much out of the fridge.
Small pot holds 4 eggs nicely. Fill enough to cover eggs when inserted. Bring to a rolling boil, insert the four eggs.
Boil six minutes, remove from heat
Take two eggs, run under water so you can handle them Crack shell with
a knife, split open and you have nice soft boiled eggs.
Leave the other two sit in the pot. The next day you have nice hard
boiled eggs.
Try it one time, adjust in 30 second increments if you want them a bit different.

my method is i never make hard boiled eggs and they always come
out perfect. my wife always makes them and she uses a color changing
egg timer. peels them while still warm. i, on the other hand, always
make the fried, scrambled, and omelets.

I already have the equipment. If I wanted to sous vide eggs, I
could just plan ahead (since I don't eat boiled eggs for breakfast).
Seems silly to break out the sous vide when I usually cook only 4 or
sometimes 6 eggs.
mediocre food most folks here are OK with.

My granddaughter found an egg on the ground at school and bought it
home. It's most likely a chicken egg. We took a look at it by shining a
light through the egg but there was nothing there. The idea of no yolk
in an egg is pretty exciting.
It seems that you can't use your cell phone light to spec out an egg -
the point source is too small so the yolk is projected on the entire
wall of the egg and the egg appears to have no yolk. Well, that's my
theory anyway. The egg was cracked open and it was an ordinary egg - so
I fried it up. I could tell that the chicken was a happy critter and
living a clean, stress-free, life in the school yard. The egg,
unfortunately, had a pretty tragic existence.

When "candling" an egg (shining a light through it) you
would only "see something" if and when the fertilised egg
starts developing an embryo chicken.
