Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that eggs can only be balanced on their ends on the day of the vernal equinox?

No. A reference article on egg balancing states that eggs will balance anywhere at any time of year and that the practice has no connection to the gravitational force of the moon or sun, directly contradicting the claim. A 1987 newspaper item only reports the equinox belief as something 'some people believe.'
