How many were left? 99% will fail.
I have 6 eggs I broke 2. I fried 2. I eat 2. How many were left? 99% will fail.
- Start with the total number of eggs, which is
- Subtract the number of eggs that were broken, which is 2. So, 6 − 2 = 46 − 2 = 4 eggs are left
- Subtract the number of eggs that were fried, which is 2. So, 4 − 2 = 24 − 2 = 2 eggs are left
- Subtract the number of eggs that were eaten, which is 2. So, 2 − 2 = 02 − 2 = 0 eggs are left. However, if you broke, fried, and ate the same 2 eggs, then you would have 6 − 2 = 46 − 2 = 4 eggs left.
The correct answer is 4 eggs, as per the explanation.
