Common Mistakes People Make While Solving This Puzzle
Many people get this wrong because:
- They misinterpret each chicken’s role. Not all birds are hens!
- They forget to add all correct values. Some skip numbers or miscalculate.
- They assume every chicken lays eggs. Look closely, one isn’t a hen!
This puzzle shows how small details can change the answer. Let’s analyze it carefully.
Step – by – Step Breakdown of the Puzzle
- Identifying the Egg – Laying Chickens
In the image, there are four chickens. But not all are hens!- The first three birds are hens.
- The third bird is a rooster (male), which doesn’t lay eggs. This is an easy – to – miss detail.
- Adding Up the Eggs from the Hens
Now, calculate the eggs from hens:- First black hen = 30 eggs
- Second brown hen = 10 eggs
- Third bird (rooster) = 0 eggs
- Fourth white hen = 15 eggs
- Finding the Total Number of Eggs
Just add up the eggs from hens: 30 + 10 + 15 = 55 eggs. So the right answer is 55 eggs!
