👉 "You have 6 eggs. You break 2, cook 2, and eat 2. How many do you have left?"
This classic brain teaser tricks thousands of people because we automatically want to start subtracting every time we read a number. But if you stop and think about the actual process of making breakfast, the answer becomes crystal clear! 🍳
Here is the logical breakdown:
You can't cook or eat an egg without cracking it open first! The 2 eggs that you broke are the exact same 2 eggs that you put in the pan to cook, and they are the very same 2 eggs that you ended up eating.
Since you only used 2 eggs in total out of your supply:
6 - 2 = 4!
The correct answer is 4! 🎉
