Three minutes from the time the water comes to a boil makes a
soft-boiled egg.

See http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A592481

But, serene, "UK" minutes are longer then "US" minutes. That would b nearly
5 minutes here in the good ole US!

but, wayne, they don't call them 'Minutes' in the UK, they call them
'decalitres' and the conversion is about 1.2 minutes to the decalitre.

Does that mean in the UK Wayne would last 2.4 minutes? hehe

Yes. My thought - based on many years of experience - is that an ice-
cold egg cooked for 4 minutes in the shell makes a perfect soft-boiled
egg. If you find eggs like this unappetizing it is a reflection on your
limited taste and no more.

More likely a reflection on your not reading carefully. The discussion
is about a 3 minute egg timer. Never heard of a 4 min one.
