How many eggs can you see in the picture?
We all love riddles and training our brains, and it’s a good choice. Are you ready to wake up and face this puzzle?
Here comes the challenge. It’s not proper math, but I remember our geometry teacher gave us a similar problem back in school. This may seem easy at first, but you will quickly realize it is not as easy as it looks.
Below is a picture – and the question is: how many eggs are in it?
How many did you find? The answer will be below the next picture.
The answer is revealed below, but don’t cheat by peeking!
A
B
C
There are a lot of eggs
It is important to think a little outside the box to figure this one out.
The correct answer is 30 eggs!
Top Row, Egg = 1 in first layer. Second Row, eggs = 2×2=4. Third Row: Number of eggs = 3×3 = 9 Fourth Row, Number of eggs = 4×4= 16. Now, we have the number of eggs in each row. So, the answer is: I will sum the number of eggs in each row to find the total number of eggs. So, the Answer is 1+4+9+16= 30.

The correct answer is 30 balls!
First, discern between visible balls and balls making up that pile.
Visible: 16; that’s rather easy.
Full pile: we have a 4×4 bottom layer, then 3×3, 2×2, 1×1.
16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 in my book.
Anyone disagrees?
