Question

There were 14 eggs in the fridge 3 of them fell down, 4 of them were eaten by dad and grandmother, 5 of them were added by mom. How many eggs are in the fridge?

Answer 1

12, but it depends on if the four eggs were eaten by dad and grandmother EACH (4 eggs each) or if the 4 eggs were eaten combined. If it was 4 eggs EACH, the answer would be 8 eggs.

As well as this, the eggs that fell down might probably still be in the fridge, unless they cracked, were rendered useless, and were thrown away. If the 3 that fell are still in the fridge, then the answer is 15, not including my previous statement.

I can tell this is a trick question, but a good one at that.

Answer 2

15 because just because they fell down doesn’t mean they aren’t in the fridge
