Where is the exact location where an egg is balanced and stays put on a nailhead in Quito,Ecuador?

Question

Saw this on Discovery Channel.The guy is Zimmern ( he eats all kinds of food, cooked or raw. I am not sure if the egg was raw or cooked) He balanced the egg on the nailhead. Of course it did not fall! And the egg was placed VERTICALLY. He said the place is the right location of the HALF OF THE WORLD in that country.He was with some locals at that time.The locals also said the same-that it was the right location of the HALF OF THE WORLD IN THAT COUNTRY. So why is it that the tourist guides did not tell us that " THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT LOCATION of the HALF OF THE WORLD", when we went up the concrete tower? And why did they not erect the tower in the right or exact location ? And could someone please tell where the exact location of the ANOTHER HALF OF THE WORLD IN INDONESIA(?)is? Thank you beautiful people!!

Answer 2

You can do the same where you live. It happens once a year in march and some say september but I have never tried it in that month to see if it works but I know it works in march but they also say you can stand up an egg all time of the year if your patient enough.

The location of the Half of the World is city is 13 kilometers to the north of Quito. Equinoctial or parallel imaginary line zero (0°0 ' 0") crosses east valley, dividing the planet Earth in two hemispheres: North and the South

Answer 3

At the exact center of the larger end of the egg.
