So you wanted me to backflip? Ok, lemme just be careful of these White Rabbit Ears - WHOA! There's a chicken floating in mid air!


So, if you don't already know, there's an Easter egg (pun intended) with Easter 2012 Rabbit Ears, where if you Backfip at the exact time you lay an egg with the Rabbit Ears, the egg can float in midair! This will be a short guide but will hopefully amuse you and allow you to amuse others with your egg floating abilities :p

What you require:

-The emote Backflip (In the fourth emote pack)

-White Rabbit Ears (2012, but I think it can work with 2011 ears as well)

You'll need 5 platinum to get the necessary emote pack for Backflip, which you should easily acquire with Tapjoy offers. The White Rabbit Ears, I won't go into much detail how to get, as you can read the patch notes or ask in game. Simply put, acquire the 13 bunny ears by waving at people with the respective Rabbit Ears and turn in the quest. The Easter event is ending VERY soon though, so hurry if you haven't already got the White Rabbit Ears. After the event ends, you will no longer be able to acquire the White Rabbit Ears and do this little trick.


I've got all the stuff needed, now what?

Now, my friend, you will be able to do the floating egg trick! It really is quite simple to do, but the problem is that it requires very precise timing. A single lag spike or push notification can throw off the timing quite dramatically. So what you will want to do is:

1. Make sure you are wearing your White Rabbit Ears (duh!).

2. Wait until you lay an egg. When you do, open the emote menu.

3. Wait until the purple chicken disappears, then start counting in your head. Approximately 5 seconds after the purple chicken disappears, another egg will be laid. The Backflip emote takes roughly 1 second to play. So when you hit the count of 4, hit the Backflip emote. The animation will play, and if you have done it right, the egg will be floating in midair! Take this opportunity to take a screenshot / spam chat with how awesome you are / faint.

Bow to our unborn king!


Troubleshooting:


Q. I followed all the instructions, but the egg doesn't even appear when the Backflip emote is being played! What happened?

A. Well, looks like you're hitting Backflip too early. As well as it being possible to lay an egg in midair, it's also possible to lay an egg underground, into the unknown. Hence why you don't see the egg. Try hitting Backflip a split second later.


Q. I can't seem to get the timing, no matter what!

A. As I said, this takes a lot of trial and error. Try hitting Backflip a little earlier or a little later. Don't be discouraged, just keep trying and eventually you will nail the timing. Count slowly, and don't forget lag spikes can also be a major factor, often causing you to cast Backflip too late. Check your ping and adjust your timing accordingly.


Q. What is 53+(4x7)x([3-2]+3+2x2)-20?

A. It's a fairly easy question, let's allow our viewers to answer this one :) 257 (say "bring back oysters if you find this ;) Ganbare!

I enjoyed it. Was wondering how to do this.
I never give thanks, mainly cause I'm on forum app, but if I wasn't, no thanks for you. I treat asking for thanks the same way I do as people asking for subs in the comments of other youtube videos. You have my verbal thanks though.

The YouTube commentator ending was a joke. 2 rep from a Thank and 50 rep required to raise your green bar by ONE? No thanks. But I'm glad you enjoyed my guide anyway ;)

Don't forget to answer the viewer question in Troubleshooting either! ;)

Uh, no thanks (punny?) I'm not good at math. Had a test yesterday, failed with like a 3/25. I just couldn't focus for the life of me.

That's unfortunate. But I'm not forcing you to do the question :p

To everyone, don't forget to share funny screenshots of the glitch as well! :D

Are you on an iDevice? If so, just press the sleep button and home at the same time.

Looking forward to seeing some amusing screenshots :)

53+(4x7)x([3-2]+3+2x2)-20 = 628. :p

Kaytar showed me this except using the puke emote instead.

53+(4x7)x([3-2]+3+2x2)-20 = 628. :p

*Shakes head in confusion* I definitely did not get that.

And yes, this is possible with different emotes, but Backflip offers the widest range of possible egg trajectories, hence making it the logical option to professional egg-launchers :p

When it comes to math, expressions in parenthesis/brackets have the highest precedence, and multiplication have higher precedence than +/-.

53 + (4 x 7) x ([3 - 2] + 3 + 2x2) - 20 =
53 + (28) x ([1] + 3 + 2x2) - 20 =
53 + (28) x ([1] + 3 + 4) - 20 =
53 + (28) x (8) - 20 =
53 + 224 - 20 =
257
