I often have 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and they're a;ways just right 
Eggs should be at room temperature ( don't keep them in the fridge) - small pan full of simmerring water...one large egg goes in for 4 mins - toast in the toaster. Toast pops out, butter and make into soldiers. Take egg out, sharp chop with a knife to the head of the egg - should be perfect
Put the other egg in to simmer - by the time you've eaten the first one....the second should be done

I can think of nothing further to add on boiling an egg perfectly. I do know that if you spin a hard boiled egg it will stand up on one end - a raw egg does not. Thus the following limerick ...
Place a hard-boiled egg on a table,
And spin it as fast as you're able;
It will stand on one end
With vectorial blend
Of precession and spin that's quite stable.
......... long night ahead

That's brilliant!
Or should I say eggsscellent
People for goodnes sake its straight forward.
1st you need to to walk barefoot wearing full Highland dress to a burn (Scottish stream people) and draw water between the hours of 0137 and 0143. Then find a Wackchalla chicken (the male one that lays eggs) and select two of the three eggs that it lays in a lunar month.
place said eggs in a basket of wirgot heather freshly picked from the dew dusted munroes or Laphroig summit and return home.
Place eggs in a clay pot and with your water and simmer for 56.3 seconds
Turn heat off and blow across the top of the pot three times (gently)
Turn on heat bring to boil for 52.41 seconds then serve.
How can you people not know this.

Your many and varied suggestions are most welcome, I shall consider them all, starting with the Saint Delia method.
Now then.... should 'soldiers' be toasted on both sides or on one side only for maximum egg-to-bread yolk transfer...??

Oh for goodness sake.
It tottaly depends on what rank they are.... What school did you go to?

Therein lies the problem, there were officers and other ranks at my school.
If you are boiling from cold then the timing is going to depend on the size of the pan, the volume of water in the pan and the type of heating apparatus.
If you are going to say "boil for 3 minutes from cold" then we are going to need a little more information in order to recreate your method precisely...
