It depends on:
1. Size of egg
2. Temperature of egg
3. Temperature of water
4. Container used for water
If the egg is small, cut down the time. If you get those regular sized ones from Giant, it takes only 7min if the egg was at room temperature.
If the egg was in the fridge, add a minute.
If your water is not 'boiling', it might take a while longer (meaning those that come out from thermo flask).
Metal tends to lose heat fast. If it is in a metal container, leave it for slightly longer. If it is in ceramic/porcelain, the heat retains better.

Hi, make sure you take out the eggs from the refrigerator the nite bfore you want to use them, boil a kettle on boiling water pour gently on the eggs and let it soak for about 8 minutes, if you have amc pot gold needle start pointing from red and stop at the middle. that is the timing for half boil egg.

Cooking such half boil is easy. Make sure the egg is not from the fridge but at room temperature. The quantity of the hot water is necessary. Too less.. not enough heat to penetrate to the egg to cook it. Ideal is 5 mins submerge in freshly hot water and cover the lid to prevent further heat loss.
