🟡 So How Many Are Left?
You started with 6 eggs.
You used 2 eggs to break → fry → eat.
That means the remaining 4 eggs were untouched.
✅ Correct answer: 4 eggs left.
⚠️ The Common Mistake
Most people assume each verb applies to a separate group of eggs:
-
2 broken
-
2 fried (on top of the broken ones)
-
2 eaten (on top of the fried ones)
That would imply using 6 eggs total, leaving you with 0. But the riddle never said these actions involved separate eggs—it just listed what happened, possibly to the same pair.
