How many eggs do I have left?
Think Before You Answer
At first glance, it may seem like multiple eggs were used — but the trick is to read carefully.
The answer becomes clear when you realize that the same two eggs are involved in every action.
The correct answer is: 4 eggs
Explanation
The key point is that it’s the same two eggs being referred to in all actions.
You start with 6 eggs.
The same 2 eggs are broken, cooked, and eaten.
So only 2 eggs are actually used.
Therefore:
6 − 2 = 4 eggs remaining
