I am qualified enough to Google - the actual cooking of such things may prove to be too complicated for me :)

I start with cold water, 3 eggs, medium-sized pan, high heat. 20 minutes. Rinse in cold water so the shell doesn't stick.
I'll have to try that simmer thing!Like (1)

I think it would be the same time, but a smaller pan would make the water boil faster. I should have added I live at a high altitude and it takes awhile for water to boil. In any case, I would say the egg needs to cook 8-10 minutes, after the water is boiling.

Depends upon how big an egg & how runny you like the yolk. For me it's 5 mins for a 'large' UK size, firm-white/runny-yolk, as long as the egg's not straight out the fridge (or it'll crack) & water must be boiling, from immersion to extraction!

depends on the pressure and your taste in eggs. Boil sets the temperature to a constant so that's a given (assuming you won't cheat on using another medium than water)

Depends on the altitude, they float when they're done.

Ten minutes, btw, you NEVER "boil" an egg, thats a misnomer. Simmer them, then rinse in cold water for a perfect egg.
