PLAY How many eggs?

The Mountain

Here since the beginning
_______________
My guess is that the answer is one, referring to the one in the question, and the picture of the egg pyramid is irrelevant.

I slid 2 more fresh eggs under a serious brooding protective hen. Figer she has at least 6 under her. Debating on the final amount. That can be interesting just sliding them under her.

Well, 1 if it is just the white egg in the question, or if the question pertains to the picture, I see 8 white eggs, even through the top egg could be a very pale pink or beige.

I thought this would be bout female fertility.

ok, so define the ? better please. How many eggs in the pyramid? 30
How many eggs depicted in egg-shape? 31
How many eggs in the whole thang? 32 if ya count the word.

How many whitish eggs in the pyramid? 16, unless the top row counts too, then 17?
Unless the pic in the question counts as well, then 18? unless....

How many eggs in the question? 1 if u mean pic. 1 if you mean word. 2 if both count.

Better question is: what's yer bestest eggnog recipe, in order of proof??

I didn't know if it was like little Johnny....

Teacher (T): Johnny, if I give you two cats, then I give you two more cats, then I give you two more cats, how many cats do you have?

Johnny (J): Seven, ma'am.

T: No, that's not right. I'll ask again, and pay attention: If I give you two cats, then I give you two more cats, then I give you two more cats, how many cats do you have?

J: Yes, ma'am, I did pay attention and the answer is seven, ma'am!

T (getting exasperated): Johnny, you're deliberately answering wrong. That is against my rules. Now answer me this: If I give you two swats, then send you to the principal and he gives you two swats, then gives you two more, how many swats did you get?

J (also getting exasperated): Six, ma'am.

T (calming down a bit): Alrighty, now you're grasping the concept. So let's go back to the original question: If I give you two cats, then I give you two more cats, then I give you two more cats, how many cats do you have?

J (rolling his eyes): Seven, ma'am.

T (redlined blood pressure): Johnny, you're gonna give me a flippin' stroke! Tell me just HOW COME if I give you two cats, then I give you two more cats, then I give you two more cats, you wind up with SEVEN?

J (elevated blood pressure himself, too): Because, ma'am, I ALREADY HAVE A FLIPPIN' CAT!!!

30. There are thirty physical eggs, if you consider the ones in the pyramid to make it work, 16 visible to the eye, except for maybe one peek of one on the right side of the lower level, and one picture of an egg.

How's that for a spaghetti model of an answer? LOL I always preferred the essay questions when I want to BS my way through a question. :D

I got 27, assumed a three-sided pyramid, and excluded the egg in the header.

1+3+7+16

ETA: Nah, that's not right. Cheeze Louise, don't make me get my eggs out . . .
