The secret to solving this riddle is zeroing in on the order of events and grasping that all the actions happen to the same eggs, not separate ones.
Step-by-Step: Solving the Riddle
You Begin with 6 Eggs:
These are all the eggs you have to start.
You Break 2 Eggs:
Now, 2 eggs are cracked, but they’re still there. They didn’t disappear; they’re just not whole anymore.
You Fry 2 Eggs:
The very same 2 eggs you broke are now cooked. No extra eggs are used.
You Eat 2 Eggs:
The 2 fried eggs are eaten. Again, these are the same eggs from before.
The remaining 4 eggs were never touched, broken, fried, or eaten. They’re still good.
So, the correct answer is: 4 eggs left.
