Are you sure? When I place eggs into water I do it to determine
which one is older - the air bladder at the thick end grows and
so an old egg will finally swim while a fresh one might hardly
elevate its thick end at all.
My method to distinguish between raw and cooked eggs is the
"twist". Lay them on a plate  and give the a good twist like a
whip-top - you will *see* the difference!

Bye, bye
