Step-by-Step Solution Breakdown
Let’s go through the riddle step by step to see where the confusion lies and how to solve it correctly.
. Start with 6 Eggs: You begin with a total of 6 eggs.
. Breaking 2 Eggs: Breaking 2 eggs doesn’t remove them from your possession—they’re still eggs, just not whole anymore. You still have 6 eggs.
. Frying 2 Eggs: Here’s the tricky part. If you fry the 2 eggs you already broke, you still have the 4 unbroken eggs. If you fried different eggs, you have 4 eggs—2 are cooked, and 2 are still raw.
. Eating 2 Eggs: Now, if you ate the eggs you fried, you’re left with 4 eggs (if you fried the ones you broke). If you fried and ate different eggs, you still have 4 eggs, but only 2 of them are cooked.
The Final Count
Here’s where the logic plays a key role:
. If you fried and ate the same eggs, you have 4 eggs left (2 raw, 2 cooked).
. If you fried different eggs than the ones you ate, you still have 4 eggs left (2 raw, 2 cooked).
The exact number of eggs left depends on whether the eggs you fried were the ones you ate.
