Our teacher told us 20 feet, and then dropped them from the belltower instead. Mine design made it, along with a a small metal drum that someone put studs on the inside of, and looped string around the studs in order to suspend the egg in the middle. Then they filled it with water. It was sweet as hell.

Leave egg inside of bantam chicken.

Meh.  Anything that allows for a slow deceleration would work.  Heck, you could probably just put an egg inside of a plastic easter egg, tape it shut, and cover the easter egg in light metal springs.

I've got a number of plans myself, I'm just seeing what else there is.

And model rockets aren't allowed, nor are any sort of whirling propeller fireworks, bottle rockets, a delayed fused firework design or anything dealing with propane.

I asked.

[Wiles]

Well that's no fun. Life is less exciting when there is no chance of being hit by a flaming airborne egg. 

[Aqizzar]

Ask if you can cover the egg in epoxy or modeling cement or Bondo or something.

My teacher allowed that, and wound up with an egg that a baseball player had to pelt into a wall to break.

I asked.

A balloon filled with just enough helium to ensure that it falls softly?

[Sensei]

That would surely break the 10cm³ limit.

[Strife26]

I had a draw up plan for some balloons to be inflated by compressed air, actually, would that work?

[Aqizzar]

You mean like an airbag?  Because without them being filled with helium it won't slow anything down.  And if it was filled with helium it wouldn't really matter how big the package is.

Build a tiny hydrogen zeppelin.

You can also make your device a propellor or Glider depending on where it will be dropped.

[Realmfighter]

That would surely break the 10cm³ limit.

You could have a small balloon with the egg inside it.

[Neonivek]

The issue is a 10 by 10 by 10 Baloon with the egg inside it may not slow it down enough.

Build a tiny hydrogen zeppelin.

Bonus points if you start it on fire afterwards.

Electrolyzing my own water is out. Sorry.
