Riddle:
I have 6 eggs
I broke 2. I fried 2.
I eat 2.
How many were left?
Here’s how you can figure it out:
- You started with 6 eggs.
- You broke 2 eggs.
- You fried 2 eggs (these could be the same eggs you broke or different ones).
- You ate 2 eggs (these could be the same eggs you fried or different ones).
Let’s break it down:
- You broke 2 eggs. Now you have 4 eggs left.
- You fried 2 eggs. If you fried the eggs you broke, you still have the 4 eggs remaining (but 2 are now cooked). If
- You fried different eggs, you still have 4 eggs, but 2 are cooked.
- You ate 2 eggs. If you ate the ones you fried, you’re left with 2 eggs (if the fried eggs were different from the eaten ones). If you ate the fried eggs, you have 4 eggs left (2 cooked, 2 not cooked).
In summary:
- If you fried and ate the same eggs, you have 2 eggs left.
- If you fried and ate different eggs, you still have 4 eggs left.
The exact number depends on whether the eggs you fried were the ones you ate.
