What’s the correct answer

Uhmm, I don’t know the answer

Let me break it down simply.

You started with 6 eggs.
You ate 2 eggs.
You fried 2 eggs.

Here's the thing: the 2 eggs you fried, were they among the ones you ate? If you ate the same 2 you fried, then:
You effectively used 2 eggs (both eaten and fried).
So, 6 - 2 = 4 eggs left.

But if you fried 2 different eggs (not the ones you ate), then:
You ate 2 + fried 2 = used 4 eggs.
So, 6 - 4 = 2 eggs left.

So the question is did you eat the two you fried or you took another two

it’s a very dicey question abi? One of ur analysis were right but the question now is which of them is ur final answer?

4 is the correct answer.....But am I surprised that the almighty Jennyclay doesn't have an answer to this question? . Hell no!!! .

Did you eat the ones you fried
That’s the only question that makes this a riddle. Outside that, it’s just simple logic

You have 6 eggs. Your eggs are still intact as you have neither eaten nor fried any

Since you ate two at first, then fried two, you have two eggs left.

Na people like you wey dey like show workings dey make other people doubt themselves for class.

My work😂 everybody must chop cane.

It's funny how attitudes kinda shift once you leave high school – or even when you're in the later years of senior high. Things change, perspectives change, and you evolve. You just feel reborn and mature. Then you know you have to stop that rubb! sh.

The trick is in the tenses, the 6 eggs are still intact.
He ate and fried the others before declaring how many he has got left.
