This picture puzzle asks viewers to count the eggs arranged in the tray. It looks simple, but the staggered layout makes it easy to lose track or count the same egg twice.
The correct answer is 16 eggs.
A reliable way to count them is row by row. The arrangement contains 2 eggs on the top row, 5 on the next row, 2 in the middle, 5 on the next row, and 2 on the bottom row.
Add them together: 2 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 2 = 16.
Visual counting puzzles often create disagreement because the eye naturally jumps between objects instead of following a fixed pattern. Scanning from top to bottom or left to right helps avoid missing an egg or counting one twice.
