How many eggs do I have left?
Here’s today’s puzzle:
I have six eggs.
I broke two.
I cooked two.
I ate two.
How many eggs do I have left?
Take a moment to think about it. Surprisingly, only a small number of people get the correct answer on their first attempt, so don’t be too confident!
A
B
C
The Answer
The correct answer is 4.
Why? Because the same two eggs were broken, cooked, and eaten. Starting with six eggs and using only two still leaves four eggs remaining.
The wording is designed to trick you into thinking different eggs were used each time. Pretty clever, right?
