I have 6 eggs I broke 2 eggs I fry 2 eggs and I ate 2 eggs riddle

by

I have 6 eggs. I broke 2 eggs, I fry 2 eggs and I ate 2 eggs. How many eggs are remaining?

The riddle goes like this:

“I have 6 eggs.
I broke 2 eggs.
I fried 2 eggs.
I ate 2 eggs.”

At first glance, it seems like all 6 eggs might have been used up, but that’s not the case. Here’s the reasoning:

  1. You start with 6 eggs.
  2. You break 2 eggs. Those 2 eggs are now the ones you’re working with.
  3. You fry 2 eggs. The same 2 eggs that were broken are fried; no additional eggs are used.
  4. You eat 2 eggs. Again, you eat the same 2 eggs that were broken and fried.

Final Answer:

You still have 4 eggs left because only 2 eggs were broken, fried, and eaten. The riddle is tricky because it makes you think you’re working with more eggs than you actually are.
