Rules:

1) Has to be a yes/no question.

2) You only get "yes" or "no" - no details.

3) Has to be a well-defined question, with no real ambiguity in the meaning of the individual words or how you're putting them together. (So "Does God exist?" types of things could be tricky)

4) You get the answer right now, today, at this point in your life. So no going back and telling your past self something that you would have found useful back then.

5) - 10) Reserved for later clarification.

No, the egg came long before the chicken. Fish and dinosaurs had eggs before chickens evolved.

Alternatively:

Yes. God created animals, male and female. The egss came later.

My hope is that the answer is yes. Then, I figure out how to manage my bets over the next five years so that I make a boatload of money.

There may be a better question than this to maximize profits. If so, I ask that one.

It is an age-old riddle that has perplexed generations: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Now British scientists claim to have finally come up with the definitive answer: The chicken.

The scientific and philosophical mystery was purportedly unraveled by researchers at Sheffield and Warwick universities, according to the Daily Mail newspaper.

The scientists found that a protein found only in a chicken's ovaries is necessary for the formation of the egg, according to the paper Wednesday. The egg can therefore only exist if it has been created inside a chicken.

The protein speeds up the development of the hard shell, which is essential in protecting the delicate yolk and fluids while the chick grows inside the egg, the report said.

"It had long been suspected that the egg came first but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first," said Dr. Colin Freeman, from Sheffield University's Department of Engineering Materials, according to the Mail.

"The protein had been identified before and it was linked to egg formation, but by examining it closely we have been able to see how it controls the process," he said.

Professor John Harding, from the same department, said the discovery could have other uses, according to the Daily Mail.

"Understanding how chickens make egg shells is fascinating in itself but can also give clues towards designing new materials and processes," he said.

"Nature has found innovative solutions that work for all kinds of problems in materials science and technology — we can learn a lot from them."

Ah, but now if the answer is yes you don't really know if it's just humanity that is considered intelligent, or if there is other intelligent life as well. If the answer is no, then you're just sad that you're not considered intelligent by whomever is answering the question.

:swear: Gotta go ahead and disagree with your study link there, the chicken and egg evolved from the dinosaur, the dinosaur from the amphibian, the amphibiam from the fish, and the fish going back far enough from a simple multi-celled organism that developed specialized cells for reproduction, and that guy came from a single celled organism, that divided on it's own, so, going back far enough the chicken and egg were one and the same, and able to divide on its own to reproduce.
