How many eggs are in the picture? Take a closer look before answering

It looks simple. You see a neatly stacked pyramid of eggs and the question is:

“How many eggs are in the picture?”

Of course, your brain starts racing to count them. Some people estimate 10. Others say 20. Some even think too much about it and try to calculate hidden layers. But here’s the twist:

It’s not a question of geometry – it’s 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 completely, while others are partially visible or hidden behind others. It’s tempting to assume that there are hidden layers. But the question is specific:

“How many eggs are in the picture?”

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