Let’s break it down carefully:
You started with 6 eggs.
- You broke 2 → but you didn’t say you threw them away
- You fried 2 → likely the same eggs you ate
- You ate 2 → again, likely the fried ones
So the key idea is: these actions are all about the same eggs, not separate ones being used up multiple times.
Correct reasoning:
- 2 eggs were used (broke → fried → eaten = same eggs)
- Those 2 are gone (consumed/broken)
Remaining:
👉 6 − 2 = 4 eggs left
Final answer: 4 eggs
The trick in this question is that people mistakenly subtract each action separately, but some actions overlap on the same eggs.
