How many eggs do you see in the picture? Most people are wrong.

How many eggs are in the picture? Look closely before you answer.
It looks simple. You see a neatly stacked pyramid of eggs, and the question is:

“How many eggs are in the picture?”

This is not a question of geometry – it is about what you can actually see.

The challenge
The image shows a group of brown eggs arranged in a triangular shape on an egg tray. Some eggs appear complete, while others are partially visible or hidden behind others. It’s tempting to assume there are hidden layers. But the question is specific:

“How many eggs are in the picture?”

This means: count only the eggs that are visible – not what might be hidden behind them.
