Why one loaded time is not enough
Fake an Egg does not publish a carry-weight formula, a treadmill level, or a movement upgrade chart. You can still learn whether carrying an egg slows you on a route you choose. The method is paired timing, not a hidden stat.
Pick two landmarks. Walk the route empty, then walk the same start and finish while carrying the egg you care about. Keep upgrades, pets, and boosts the same. If a player bumps you or you take a detour, throw that pair out and repeat it.
Two percentages that are not interchangeable
For the same distance, speed is distance divided by time. The loaded speed divided by the unloaded speed equals the unloaded time divided by the loaded time.
- Speed loss is
1 - (unloaded seconds / loaded seconds), then times 100. - Travel-time increase is
(loaded seconds - unloaded seconds) / unloaded seconds, then times 100.
They share a pair of times and use different denominators. A hypothetical 10-second empty trip and a 20-second loaded trip is 50% less speed and 100% more travel time. Those seconds are an illustration, not a measured Fake an Egg egg.
| Empty | Carrying | Speed loss | Extra travel time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 s | 20 s | 50% | 100% |
| 12 s | 15 s | 20% | 25% |
| 30 s | 36 s | about 16.7% | 20% |
Write the raw seconds, not only the percent, so you can recompute later. Two clean pairs are enough to notice a large gap. If the pairs disagree by a lot, the route is too noisy for a precise percent. A longer route with fewer turns is easier to read.
What the result does not decide
- It does not predict whether another player catches you. Their start, speed, and the server are outside the timer.
- It does not prove a weight curve or that one named egg is heavier than another.
- It does not transfer to a different route or a different movement upgrade.
- It does not replace the disguise decision in Test a disguise tell.
This site's calculators do not accept a pair of route times. Do the division from your notes. Use income payback only for a cash rate and a cost, which is a different question.
There is no verified private-server practice room. The public games record read on 20 October 2026 has VIP server creation disabled, so plan the timing in a normal server and discard pairs that a collision ruins.
