A riddle for your wits! I have six chicken eggs. I cracked two and fried the other two. How many eggs are left?

You started with 6 eggs. You cracked 2 eggs. You fried 2 eggs (these could have been the same eggs you cracked, or different ones). You ate 2 eggs (these could have been the same eggs you fried, or different ones).

Let’s break this down:

You cracked two eggs. Now you have  four eggs left . You fried two eggs. If you fried the eggs you cracked, you still have four eggs left (but two of them are now cooked).

If you fried other eggs, you still have 4 eggs, but 2 of them are cooked. You’ve eaten 2 eggs. If you ate the ones you fried, you’re left with  2 eggs  (assuming the fried eggs were different from the ones you ate).

If you ate the fried eggs, you would have  4 eggs left  (2 cooked, 2 uncooked).

In summary:

If you fried and ate the same eggs, you’ll have  2 eggs left . If you fried and ate different eggs, you’ll still have  4 eggs left .

The exact amount depends on whether the eggs you fried were the same ones you ate.
