The egg mystery: something we often miss... without even realizing it
Let's start again calmly:
- You start with 6 eggs.
- You break 2 eggs, you fry those same 2 eggs, then you eat those same 2 eggs again.
There's no indication that you used any others. In other words, you simply processed the same two eggs from start to finish. It's a bit like saying, "I took a croissant, cut it, spread it with something, and ate it." You don't have three croissants... you only used one.
And that's where our logic gets caught out: we think in terms of distinct actions, not identical ingredients.
Result: you have 4 eggs left, safe and sound, intact, ready for an omelet or a Sunday cake.
