Solution

This can be quickly distinguished between a raw egg and a hardboiled one by spinning each one ona table.

Also, if it will be stopped a spinning raw egg with anyone’s finger and released it very quickly. It will resume quickly.

The raw egg contains more of the liquid in it and when someone rotates it the centrifuge will act on the liquid and push it against the inner surface of egg. This increases the rotational inertia of the egg and it spins slowly.

Besides, the hardboiled egg will have lower rotational inertia and will spins fast relative to the raw egg.
