The correct answer: 16 eggs
If you look closely and count every visible egg – regardless of whether it is shown in whole or in part – you will find exactly 16 eggs.
No more. No less.
Some are stacked, others are slightly obscured, but all are at least partially visible in the image. That’s the trick: the puzzle is not how many eggs there are in the pyramid, but how many you can actually see.
Why so many people are wrong
This is a classic visual puzzle designed to confuse through guesswork. Many people fall into the trap of thinking too much and trying to estimate the full 3D structure of the pyramid.
But as with any good puzzle, the answer lies in paying attention to the exact wording.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve answered 16, you’ll have a keen eye and a solid attention to detail. If you’ve guessed based on what “should” be there, don’t worry – it’s a common mistake.
This puzzle is a fun reminder: sometimes it’s harder to see what’s right in front of us than it seems.
