Ah, this is a classic “tricky wording” riddle! Let’s solve it carefully, step by step:
You said:
- I have six eggs. ✅ That’s our starting point.
- I broke two. ✅ Now, two eggs are broken, four remain unbroken.
- I fried two. ✅ Here’s the trick: the two you fried are the same two you broke, because you can’t fry unbroken eggs without breaking them.
- I ate two. ✅ Again, the two you ate are the same two you fried.
So, you only used two eggs, not six.
✅ Eggs left: 6 − 2 = 4 eggs remaining unbroken, unfried, uneaten.
The trick is that “breaking, frying, and eating” can all happen to the same eggs.
