Now the eggs move into the large intestine. All of the broken down components of the eggs have passed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. What remains are the insoluble parts, like roughage and water. The large intestine itself doesn’t contribute to digestion, but bacteria that live there create vitamin K and some of the B vitamins.

The eggs will spend up the 24 hours in the large intestine where most of the water is absorbed. The last of the eggs pass out of the anus about 36 hours after being eaten.

Not only will Paul Newman be bunged up for 36 hours after eating his eggs, the amount of hydrogen sulphide gas (stink gas) he would produce would be awful.

So after all of this, what is the likelihood of Paul Newman eating 50 eggs? Not great. He would run out of saliva, and chances are his stomach would not be trained to take four litres of food.
