Dropping egg off building?

For a project we have to drop a egg off a building and try to make it not brake.

We can use either use

1. 100 straws and 2 meter of tape

or

2. 50 index cards and 2 meter of tape

What should I use the straws or index cards. When you choose one tell me what I should do with them to keep the egg from braking.

I’d go with the card formed in to boxes. Then form the boxes into a pyramid or tower. Lightly tape the top boxes so they collapse absorbing energy. It is very important that the egg hits on an end versus a side. Feel free to test this squeeze an egg in your hand end to end and then turn it side ways. 300lb pressure is required to break them end to end.
