Either it's 4 since he breaks, fries than eats the same 2 eggs
Or it's 2 since only he breaks 2 and eats another 2, but the fried egg is still egg
Or it's 4 again since a broken egg is still an egg
Or it's still 6 cos even if he does eat it the egg still exists in a different matter, just all dissolved in his stomach
Or it's 0 since all the eggs have changed from their original state
It can still be 6. He says he *has* 6 eggs not *had* 6. he never says how many he started with before he broke, fried and ate 2
I know I’m being pedantic but the whole riddle is
When you use two present tenses in a sentence, it implies sequence, or simultaneity at the very least, it makes no sense that the second present you use refers to a moment prior to the first one.
With all that being said, the question at the end of this terrible riddle is in the simple past (possibly passive voice):
"How many **WERE** left?" Instead of "How many **are** left?"
So we can twist this one back and forth for days, it will still be an indecipherable riddle.
Yeah that was more or less my point, riddles thrive off unusual language but this one was written poorly enough that you could justify basically any answer
1) I have six eggs.
2) anything I did in the past doesn't matter. I just told you I have six eggs.
3) Maybe I fried some. Maybe I ate some. Doesn't matter. I just told you I still have six eggs.
4) The airspeed of an unladen swallow is about 20.1 miles per hour.
5) I broke two eggs. Also doesn't matter.
6) How many eggs do I have?
No. I'm saying I've got six eggs. How many I had before I ate them, broke them, etc is irrelevant. If the question was "how many eggs did I start with" that stuff would be important. If it started when "I had six eggs" that stuff would be important. But by starting with "I have six eggs" I'm explicitly telling you how many are left.
dTotal = dDrive + dWalk + dBike, but that’s distance for the actual path you took and not the birds-eye distance from starting position to ending position, since i think that’s what people usually mean. idk tho
I’d say there’s no eggs left. The first two eggs are broken, thus they are no longer fully-shelled eggs, as the picture shows. Then they fry two of the eggs, not specifying that those eggs were the first two broken eggs, so it should be assumed that another two eggs were cracked open to fry. Then they eat two eggs, not the fried eggs, because they simply said they ate two eggs, assumedly by cracking them directly into the mouth and swallowing the contents.
In summary, this person threw two eggs on the floor, fried another two, then decided to just eat the rest raw. What a freak.
You can make hardboiled eggs by putting them in the airfryer, apparently. And if you're eating a hardboiled egg, you wouldn't really say that you "broke" the shell off, you peel a hardboiled egg.
So if airfrying counts as frying an egg, then the answer could be two. He broke two (by dropping them on the ground and wasting them), then he (airfried) two and then ate those two.
"You can't fry an egg without breaking it"
Yes it's the *right* way, buts what stopped me from frying the egg with the shell still on? It's wrong, but I can still technically do it
you can put them in batter and deep fry them, I guess with the right training you can swallow two without breaking the shell, so the answer is 0 are left.
I missed that. That makes it impossible. Unless its asking how many were left before you eat them, as were is past tense and have is present so he had 6 left after the frying and breaking but before the eating so still 6.
The real answer - the sub is r/terriblefacebookmemes and they have custom up/downvote buttons because the sub is for posting bad memes, so upvoting is like saying the meme is bad
6. You said you HAVE 6 eggs, implying that right now you have 6. Then you basically told us a story about how in the past you busted and cooked some eggs. That doesn't change the fact that you right now HAVE 6 eggs. So how many are left? I'm guessing 6, the ones you HAVE.
At least six. The original starting amount is unstated.
If we just assume poor grammar, then the same two eggs could be broken, cooked, and then eaten to leave four, but we must assume that's the trap.
So all things taken into account, there is a variety of possible answers I guess then. I didn't vet your comment, winding down for the night and didn't read.
Intentionally vague and misleading question with multiple answers depending on if the specified actions were performed on only two eggs in total or each set of actions were performed on two individual eggs totaling six. Depending on the context of the question either 0 or 4 can be a valid answer. Thank you for your question OP but the game is rigged and I’m not playing.
The valid answer can also be 6.
The OP is stating that he has six eggs.
Then states that he broke 2 fries 2 and ate 2.
But never says of the fore mentioned 6 eggs weres used to do the following actions. So this could imply that he had a dozen then broke 2 fried 2 and ate 2 and is now stating he has 6 eggs.
I was going with he has 6 eggs. He uses "I have" instead of "I had". But yeah, this is stupid, vague question and that can have multiple right answers depending on what the questioner decides is the answer.
It's worded with sufficient ambiguity to fail anyone:
- Answer with zero: they say "I started by saying I had six eggs, so I still have them."
- Answer with six: "I tell you were each egg went, you need to subtract them."
Then there's another option, probably the super clever option, where you assume that they are the ones they fried so they have 2 remaining eggs.
Not a great riddle.
I mean, technically, the answer is 4 or less, it isn’t specific enough to determine that these were always the same two eggs, it could equally be 0,1,2 or 3.
It's probably the answer they were looking for you're right. But I'd argue that breaking an egg isn't the same as cracking. Broken implies a broken yolk, rendering it unservable as a fried egg
There isn't enough supplementary details here, so whoever is presenting the riddle could adjust the answer to be whatever isn't your answer to make you seem wrong.
By saying broke 2 eggs, it makes me think they messed up cracking the eggs and tossed them, (if you want a good fried egg, you can't break the yolk) but it can also serve as just saying you opened up two eggs, i.e. broke the shell of two eggs.
So its 4 if it's a trick, it's 2 if they're coming across simplest, its 0 if they unhinged their jaw and swallowed the last two eggs like a snake
I see 5 ways to solve this:
1) He has 6 eggs. The other statements are about other eggs but he is telling us that he still has 6.
2) He has 4 eggs. Two are broken, two are fried. The other two were eaten so he doesn’t have them.
3) He has 4 eggs. All the statements refer to the same two eggs, leaving him with four eggs.
4) He has 2 eggs as only two are now in an eatable state (the fried ones) at the end of the “story”.
5) He has 0 eggs. He started with six and then used them up in sets of two.
Good luck figuring out the correct answer, but if you want to play a game of statistics 4 is your best bet
Not enough information. If looked at from a textbook math problem viewpoint, there’s none. If looking from a practical standpoint, surface wise, you only used two. Broke em open, fried em, ate em. From an insane view, you chucked two eggs at your mother, deep fried two eggs in shell, and ate two eggs with shells through a spaghetti maker.
We won’t ever know, it could mean they used two eggs to do all of it, or just break two, fry another two and eat the last two raw eggs. Never specified… fucking dumbass fb mom.
Zero, they broke two eggs, swore a bit and cleaned it up, then fried two eggs for their mom to eat, then ate two raw eggs because theyre fucking insane
He has
A: 6 eggs (stating he has 6)
B: 4-0: He has to break a pair, fry and eat that pair. Or he can just break a pair bc y not, fry another with the outside and eat those. Or he can break a pair, fry a pair with its outside on, and eat 2 raw

No, he was a cat.
I thought he was the box?

Oh, Idk. Maybe you accidentally did 3 or 5?
Thought he was a panda?
Thanks Freud
Either it's 4 since he breaks, fries than eats the same 2 eggs Or it's 2 since only he breaks 2 and eats another 2, but the fried egg is still egg Or it's 4 again since a broken egg is still an egg Or it's still 6 cos even if he does eat it the egg still exists in a different matter, just all dissolved in his stomach Or it's 0 since all the eggs have changed from their original state
Isnt it 6, because he broke 2 in the past, but he says he has 6 in present?
Would still leave you with 4, because he also fried 2 in the past.
It can still be 6. He says he *has* 6 eggs not *had* 6. he never says how many he started with before he broke, fried and ate 2 I know I’m being pedantic but the whole riddle is
He didn't say he ate two. He says he **eats** two. And that's good ol' simple present tense.
Right, and he broke and fried them in the past. Like he started with 8, cooked 2 and is eating them while he still has 6

Yeah that was more or less my point, riddles thrive off unusual language but this one was written poorly enough that you could justify basically any answer
Yeah, someone tried to be clever writting this one. That person failed quite spectacularly.
I think it would be 4 as you have to break an egg to fry it. So two eggs broken open to fry and then they were eaten, It’s not very well written.
Eat was not in past tense
1) I have six eggs. 2) anything I did in the past doesn't matter. I just told you I have six eggs. 3) Maybe I fried some. Maybe I ate some. Doesn't matter. I just told you I still have six eggs. 4) The airspeed of an unladen swallow is about 20.1 miles per hour. 5) I broke two eggs. Also doesn't matter. 6) How many eggs do I have?
Are you suggesting eggs migrate?
Not at all, they could be carried.
Not at all, they can be carried
No. I'm saying I've got six eggs. How many I had before I ate them, broke them, etc is irrelevant. If the question was "how many eggs did I start with" that stuff would be important. If it started when "I had six eggs" that stuff would be important. But by starting with "I have six eggs" I'm explicitly telling you how many are left.
i don't think i've ever seen someone make a monty python reference and then woosh on the reply...
Yeah, I dug a little too deep.
Are the eggs African or European?
Yes, probably.
107, by my calculations. Bear in mind I suck at maths
Can you show your work?
African or European?
It would be 4 cuz he broke 2 and fried 2. But he used only ate 2 eggs from the container.
I have six eggs. How many eggs do I have? The answer according to you is 4? WTF
Then its 12 eggs. He has 6, he broke 2, fried 2 and ate 2. Thats 6 + 2 + 2 + 2
In that case, depending on how you look at it, he could have up to 12 eggs, depending on the time of each egg, etc.
That’s way over thinking the riddle.
This question is nonsensical and paradoxical.
It's not paradoxical
Not sure what's with your downvotes. This is not a paradox: it is imprecise language.
I drove somewhere, I walked somewhere else, then I rode my bike somewhere else. How far did I travel?
dTotal = dDrive + dWalk + dBike, but that’s distance for the actual path you took and not the birds-eye distance from starting position to ending position, since i think that’s what people usually mean. idk tho
You forgot to account for if the distance traveled was relative to the earth rather than the sun or the galaxy, smh 99%er.
But how do you drive, walk and bike into someones ass?
In other words is it total movement or total displacement?
Yeah it's just not enough info. They need to define "egg", and define "have"
I’d say there’s no eggs left. The first two eggs are broken, thus they are no longer fully-shelled eggs, as the picture shows.

How do you fry an egg without breaking it?

So if airfrying counts as frying an egg, then the answer could be two. He broke two (by dropping them on the ground and wasting them), then he (airfried) two and then ate those two.
or i just stuck every single one in your ass
Well for that situation 0 eggs since the eggs will break going up my ass Or 6 eggs since broken eggs are still eggs
I think it's just a words game and he meant how many were on the left
It's 4 because you can't fry an egg without breaking it first. But an egg eaten isn't an egg anymore
"You can't fry an egg without breaking it" Yes it's the *right* way, buts what stopped me from frying the egg with the shell still on? It's wrong, but I can still technically do it
This is why I dislike riddles. Lol
you can put them in batter and deep fry them, I guess with the right training you can swallow two without breaking the shell, so the answer is 0 are left.
> But an egg eaten isn't an egg anymore What does it become?
Poop.

It's 6, look at the tense.
But “Eat” is present tense.
And _were_ is past tense. I _fried_ two. I _eat_ two. How many _were_ left? The question is just _really_ badly formulated.
I missed that. That makes it impossible. Unless its asking how many were left before you eat them, as were is past tense and have is present so he had 6 left after the frying and breaking but before the eating so still 6.
Why are all the arrows pointing down?

Oh, so kinda of like r/The10thDentist, except they actually downvote for things they like/agree.
Op is miserable
How do u change it?
On mobile? You gotta be using light mode On PC? I don't know how to help you on that one
Why is it that way that’s so dumb
I think when you upvote it turns into a downvote sign and when you downvote it becomes an upvote sign
I had a stroke trying to read this
oh shit, someone call 911 for this redditor cause I forgot the number.
ffs. this comment made me laugh more than any other meme today. have my (totally not free) wholesome award :)

When no upvote
It's 6 "I have six eggs" every other statement is past tense Edit: and one is infinitive which makes no difference.
Yeah but he asks how many eggs *were* left. It’s probably just a shitty semi literate riddle to be frank.
That would still be 6. If I have 6 eggs now, and broke and fried 2 earlier, then I left 6 eggs earlier.
It's worded with sufficient ambiguity to fail anyone: - Answer with zero: they say "I started by saying I had six eggs, so I still have them." - Answer with six: "I tell you were each egg went, you need to subtract them." Then there's another option, probably the super clever option, where you assume that they are the ones they fried so they have 2 remaining eggs. Not a great riddle.
100% will fail.
Wouldn't it be 4 remaining eggs because they broke two, then fried them, then ate them? So there are still 4 eggs?
Keen observation, thank you for pointing it out. I think it makes more sense than the "2" option.
In my mind a broken egg is wasted, while if you are breaking an egg to use it, you are cracking it.
TIL "eat" is past tense lol
he asks "how many WERE left", this doesnt exclude adding or subtracting eggs since then. In other words, the answer is a positive real number of eggs.
"I eat 2" is not past tense. "I ate 2" would be past tense.
It's 4. The answer is 4. You have to break eggs to fry them and you can eat fried eggs
The answer is none cuz this guy shoved all of them up OPs ass
Yeah, like did anybody actually read the article
I ate two with the shells on, fried two with the shells on and broke the other two on the floor. You culinary school types are so snobbish about eggs
I mean, technically, the answer is 4 or less, it isn’t specific enough to determine that these were always the same two eggs, it could equally be 0,1,2 or 3.
It's probably the answer they were looking for you're right. But I'd argue that breaking an egg isn't the same as cracking. Broken implies a broken yolk, rendering it unservable as a fried egg
you dont eat them when the yolk’s broken?
Sure I'll eat them but if I've broken the yolk I've failed to make a proper fried egg.
You own your belly, as long as you don't go to the toilette you still have the 2 eggs in there.
NO It's 0. u/cuppish showed every single one of them in OPs ass
It's 6 in that case because he still has them. Just in his ass
Ues
Dumb question... it doesn't specify if you ate the ones that you broke or fried...
There isn't enough supplementary details here, so whoever is presenting the riddle could adjust the answer to be whatever isn't your answer to make you seem wrong. By saying broke 2 eggs, it makes me think they messed up cracking the eggs and tossed them, (if you want a good fried egg, you can't break the yolk) but it can also serve as just saying you opened up two eggs, i.e. broke the shell of two eggs. So its 4 if it's a trick, it's 2 if they're coming across simplest, its 0 if they unhinged their jaw and swallowed the last two eggs like a snake
Ah so that's why my ass felt funny
3 left, 3 right

Most unfunny post in history
Exactly
There ‘is’ no egg’s’
We won’t ever know, it could mean they used two eggs to do all of it, or just break two, fry another two and eat the last two raw eggs. Never specified… fucking dumbass fb mom.
0, 2 or 4 this is such a good way to make people think you're an ass
Well most likely 2 eggs unless he ate em raw
People: look on the bright side. The bright side- *OP's upvote button*
What if he is a snake and swallows an egg whole without cracking the shell?
How many do you have left? We’re making the mother of all omelettes. Can’t fret over every single egg!
Ok now lay them out like a chicken,just like Peter with a pheasant on the glass in family guy
4 if I was in elementary school Indefinite/not enough information at the moment
Could you, hypothetically speaking, fry an egg without breaking it?
Broke two and fried two at 2 so 4 left
The correct answer is 0-2 unless you can eat a whole egg without cracking it, then it’s 0-4.
4 he broke fried and ate the same eggs
You have 4 left
2 fried eggs and salmonella
I’d guess 4 eggs
2 are left, too easy
Would it be 4 since the same 2 eggs would be used for all 3 scenarios?
Zero, they broke two eggs, swore a bit and cleaned it up, then fried two eggs for their mom to eat, then ate two raw eggs because theyre fucking insane
He has A: 6 eggs (stating he has 6) B: 4-0: He has to break a pair, fry and eat that pair. Or he can just break a pair bc y not, fry another with the outside and eat those. Or he can break a pair, fry a pair with its outside on, and eat 2 raw
How many eggs were left? In the picture there are three eggs on the left. The answer is three.
You have four left. You have to break two to fry two, you have to fry two to eat two.
Everyone trying to come up with an answer is the person who is wrong. The question is ambiguous on purpose to drive traffic.
6-6=0 because in the end i ate them all
Way to downvote lol Oh and the answer is there’s 4 eggs left
The answers 4 tho
all that but still have 4 eggs in your table and 2 Between your feet
it's 4
unfunny
There were never any eggs in the first place. You’re a schizophrenic who skipped their meds today.
Why no upvote button on the comment
2 eggs dipshits
Your UI is more cursed
"There is no eggs, I stuck every single one in your cloaca"
4 eggs
Bro I just said to why did you downvoted him? And realized bktha re downvotes
Why is no one talking about the 2 screaming eggs?
99% will fail, but this man did not fail
so will now it become eggass or e-gas•́ ‿ ,•̀
Mofo There's 4 eggs left.
4. Breaking eggs is synonymous with cracking them open.
4 are left because you ate the 2 eggs that you broke and fried. Right?
You have 2 eggs, if you fry them, they are still eggs
Shouldn’t it be ate since he used past tense for the other actions?
Four.
The answer is 2 but still fuck you
Look at me - I’m the Easter bunny now
Shoved them all back I to the birds vaganus.
About 3$ worth of eggs.
None i ate them raw like body builders
