After his challengers give up, Columbus does it himself by tapping the egg on the table to flatten its tip. The story is often alluded to when discussing creativity. The term has also been used as the trade name of puzzles. Source of the storyeditThe Columbus story may have originated with Italian historian and traveler Girolamo Benzoni.

An egg of Columbus or Columbus egg Italian uovo di Colombo wvo di kolombo refers to a brilliant idea or discovery that seems simple or easy after the fact. Columbus being at a party with many noble Spaniards, where, as was customary, the subject of conversation was the Indies one of them undertook to say Mr. Christopher, even if you had not found the Indies, we should not have been devoid of a man who would have attempted the same that you did, here in our own country of Spain, as it is full of great men clever in cosmography and literature. Columbus said nothing in answer to these words, but having desired an egg to be brought to him, he placed it on the table saying Gentlemen, I will lay a wager with any of you, that you will not make this egg stand up as I will, naked and without anything at all. They all tried, and no one succeeded in making it stand up. When the egg came round to the hands of Columbus, by beating it down on the table he fixed it, having thus crushed a little of one end wherefore all remained confused, understanding what he would have said that after the deed is done, everybody knows how to do it that they ought first to have sought for the Indies, and not laugh at him who had sought for it first, while they for some time had been laughing, and wondered at it as an impossibility. Trovandosi adunque Colombo in un convito con molti nobili Spagnuoli, dove si ragionaua come si costuma, dellIndie uno di loro hehbe a dire. Signor Christofano ancora che voi non ha veste trovato lIndie, non sarebbe mancato chil simile hauesse tentanto, come voi, qu nella nostra Spagna come quella che de grandhuomini giudiciosi ripiena, cosmografi, letterati. Non rispose Colombo queste parole cosa alcuna, ma fattosi portare unovo, lo pose in tavola, dicendo io voglio, Signori, con qual si voglia di voi givocare una scomessa chen non farete stare questovo in piedi come far io, ma nudo senza cosa alcuna. Pruovaronsi tutti, nessuno successe il farlo stare in piedi come alle mani del Colombo egli venne, dandogli una battuta su la tavola lo ferm, stricciando cosi un poco della punta onde tutti restarono smarriti, intendendo che voleva dire che dopo il fatto ciascuno s fare, che dovevano prima cerare lIndie, non ridersi di chi le cercava innanzi, come un pezzo serano risi, maravigliati, come cosa impossibile essere. The factual accuracy of this story is called into question by its similarity to another tale published fifteen years earlier while Benzoni was still traveling in the Americas by painter and architect Giorgio Vasari. According to Vasari, the young Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi had designed an unusually large and heavy dome for Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral Duomo in Florence, Italy. City officials had asked to see his model, but he refused, proposing instead That whosoever could make an egg stand upright on a flat piece of marble should build the cupola, since thus each mans intellect would be discerned. Taking an egg, therefore, all those Masters sought to make it stand upright, but not one could find a way. Whereupon Filippo, being told to make it stand, took it graciously, and, giving one end of it a blow on the flat piece of marble, made it stand upright. The craftsmen protested that they could have done the same but Filippo answered, laughing, that they could also have raised the cupola, if they had seen the model or the design. And so it was resolved that he should be commissioned to carry out this work Fu tolto uno uovo, e da tutti que maestri provato a farlo star ritto, nessuno sapeva il modo. Fu da loro detto a Filippo che lo fermasse, et egli con grazia lo prese e datoli un colpo del culo in sul piano del marmo, lo fece star ritto. Romoreggiando glartefici che similmente arebbono fatto essi, rispose loro Filippo ridendo che egli averebbono ancora saputo voltare la cupola, vedendo il modello o il disegno. E cos fu risoluto che egli avessi carico di questa opera, e ne informasse meglio i Consoli e gli operai. When the church was finally built it had the shape of half an egg slightly flattened at the top. Cultural referenceseditMary Shelley mentions Columbuss egg in her Introduction to the Third Edition of Frankenstein 1. In all matters of discovery and invention, even of those that appertain to the imagination, we are continually reminded of the story of Columbus and his egg. Invention consists in the capacity of seizing on the capabilities of a subject, and in the power of moulding and fashioning ideas suggested to it. Adolf Hitler used the metaphor in Mein Kampf, saying that Examples of The Columbus Egg lie around us in hundreds of thousands but observers like Columbus are rare. Leo Tolstoy mentions Columbus egg in War and Peace after Helene explains to her spiritual guide her reasoning as to why she is not bound by her previous vows of marriage to Pierre after switching religions. The spiritual guide was astonished at this solution, which had all the simplicity of Columbus egg. See alsoeditKant, Immanuel 2.
