The riddle’s answer is 4 eggs left — but there’s a small wording trick.
You start with 6 eggs.
- You broke 2 eggs → those same 2 eggs are now broken.
- You cooked those 2 eggs → they are prepared.
- You ate those 2 eggs → they are gone.
So only 2 eggs were used, leaving:
6 − 2 = 4 eggs
The trick is that the riddle makes you imagine that “broke,” “cooked,” and “ate” refer to different groups of eggs, but they are actually the same two eggs. 🥚🥚🥚🥚
