The Correct Answer: 16 Eggs
If you look carefully and count every visible egg — whether it’s fully or partially shown — you’ll find exactly 16 eggs.
No more. No less.
Some are stacked, some slightly obscured, but all are at least partially visible in the image. That’s the trick: the puzzle is not asking how many eggs exist in the pyramid, but how many you can actually see.
Why So Many People Get It Wrong
This is a classic visual puzzle designed to confuse through assumption. Many people fall into the trap of overthinking and trying to estimate the pyramid’s full 3D structure.
But like any good riddle, the answer lies in paying attention to the exact wording.
Final Thoughts
If you answered 16, you’ve got a sharp eye and solid attention to detail. If you guessed based on what “should” be there, don’t worry — it’s a common mistake.
This puzzle is a fun reminder: sometimes, seeing what’s right in front of us is harder than it seems.
