How much does an egg weigh?

Some days ago I went to Indorizky to buy some eggs. My mom said she needed 0.5 kg.

The egg place was easy enough find. Once I got there, I only needed to take the provided semi-transparent plastic bags and fill it with the eggs.

But the problem is I had no idea how many eggs I should put to get half a kilogram. Luckily, a middle-aged woman was standing around there, having just finished taking eggs for herself.

I asked her much much eggs I should put if I wanted 0.5 kilograms. After doing some mental calculation, she said I should put 8 eggs.

OK, so I tried to get 8 unstained ones, and went to the weighing place. I got 0.495 kg! What a great accuracy!
