Finally :
I’ll eat two of them.
It is obvious that these are the eggs that have just been fried.
In other words, all three actions concern exactly the same two eggs.
The correct answer
If only two eggs were used to be cracked, fried, and eaten, there remains:
6 − 2 = 4 eggs.
The correct answer is therefore:
There are 4 eggs left .
What this enigma reveals about our way of thinking
This little puzzle shows a fascinating thing: our brain loves to go fast.
When we read a sentence, we immediately interpret the general meaning without analyzing every detail. We naturally fill in the missing information with our own assumptions.
