How Many Eggs Are Left? A Riddle That Confuses 99% of People

You start with 6 eggs.

1. You break 2 eggs – That still leaves 6 eggs total, but now 2 are broken (likely to cook them).

2. You cook 2 eggs – You probably cooked the 2 you just broke. No additional eggs used here.

3. You eat 2 eggs

   – You eat the 2 you just cooked.

So here’s the catch:
You didn’t use 6 different eggs. You broke, cooked, and ate the same 2 eggs.

✅ Answer: 4 eggs are left
