the kid who won, IIRC, did something that had a matrix of toothpicks that crumpled and absorbed the energy, but it didn't have to drop 70-80 feet.
I'm thinking suspend the egg on rubber bands in a small plastic container filled with a chilled viscous liquid like 30 wt oil, maybe. (chilling increases the viscosity)
Can you do something to strengthen the shell? Wrap it in duct tape, silly putty, foam sealant?
Put it in a cluster of a few balloons? (basically what the Mars landers have used)
