Vegreville, Alberta - World's Largest Easter Egg A recent trip through Canada shows that our zany neighbors to the north
put us to shame when it comes to large roadside wonders. The Vegreville Easter Egg
(Pysanka) is not only the civic symbol, it uses a hitherto unknown yet unbelievably useful
tiling scheme, as detailed in Paul Hoffman's book, "Archimedes' Revenge: The Joys and
Perils of Mathematics," in a chapter titled "Confessions of an Egg Man." [Mark Newlon, 08/24/2002][RA: See other giant eggs.]
