confused outline - egg/shadow/furrow

  Hardest area, what looks to be around the edges of where the worms are happy going.
  23 seconds - it's a furrow, not an egg - starts at the right end, not the middle, of the worm.

  The clumps of food can be extremely confusing sometimes! You may have noticed that the worms sometimes hang around the outermost edge of the food area, feeding at the perimeter. The food is thickest at the edge, thus they like it more! Unfortunately, because it's thicker, it clumps more, and makes eggs harder to see.
