This is a classic trick question, and the key is to notice that the eggs mentioned are the same 6 eggs, not separate groups.
- You start with 6 eggs
- You broke 2, fried 2, and ate 2 — but these are the same 2 eggs
So those 2 eggs were:
👉 broken → fried → eaten
That means they are no longer remaining.
🥚 Final answer:
4 eggs are left
🧠 Why people get confused
The wording makes it sound like:
- 2 broken + 2 fried + 2 eaten = 6 different eggs
But in reality, it’s describing the same 2 eggs undergoing multiple actions.
