How Many Eggs Are in the Picture? Look Closer Before You Answer

It looks easy. You see a neatly stacked pyramid of eggs and the question reads:

“How many eggs are there in the picture?”

Naturally, your brain starts racing to count them. Some people guess 10. Others say 20. A few even overthink it, trying to calculate hidden layers. But here’s the twist:

This isn’t a question about 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 fully, while others are partially visible or tucked behind others. It’s tempting to assume there are hidden layers. But the question is specific:

“How many eggs are there in the picture?”

That means: only count the eggs that are visible — not what might be hidden behind.
