Social media is full of riddles that seem simple but contain clever traps. One popular example is:
“I have 6 eggs. I broke 2, I fried 2, and I ate 2. How many are left?”
Most people subtract all the actions and say 0 eggs remain—but that’s incorrect.
The trick: The same 2 eggs were broken, fried, and eaten. That means only 2 eggs were used.
