Awesome Egg Drop

There is an egg drop competition. If you egg survives, you get points for mass*time. The lowest score gets extra credit. So...Assume you have a helium balloon. The mass of a helium balloon is negative. The time it takes to fall will be close to infinite. Therefore the score will be negative infinity = extra credit. It works, right? :D

you constantly find yourself saying "we had homework?"
everything you know about sex, you learned in english class.

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
