Riddle

You have 6 eggs. You break 2, cook 2 and you eat 2 eggs. How many do you have left?

Choose an answer

B.2
C.6
D.4. The 2 you break are the ones you cook, which are the ones you eat.
Hint: It's a 14-word phrase with 49 letters, starting with "4".

Answer

4. The 2 you break are the ones you cook, which are the ones you eat.

Why this is the answer

All three actions (break, cook, eat) happen to the same 2 eggs, so only 2 total are used, leaving 4.
