A picture of eggs stacked upon each other is doing rounds on social media because of the puzzle which is based on these eggs.
The question is to find the number of eggs in the picture and this has baffled the netizens as the egg stack is only partially visible. In order to find the total number of eggs, you have to imagine the complete stack in 3D.
This beautiful egg puzzle with eggs of varied colors is quite popular on social media as people have been scratching their heads to find the right answer.
What is the answer?
While some people say the correct answer is 15, as only 16 eggs are visible to the eyes-- 7 in the lowest row, 5 above it, 3 in the second row and 1 in the top row.
Others, who say the answer is 30, have a logical answer to this.
If there are only 16 eggs how is it possible that the eggs are standing upright and stacked neatly. Considering the structure of eggs it can only be stacked properly when the eggs are arranged in a pyramidical manner.

Never be in a hurry to solve an optical illusion. Though illusion based puzzles ask the observer to answer within a few seconds, if one engages in good skills in the first few seconds the answer can be found within no time. People lose the challenge because they are focused on finding the answer instead of understanding the puzzle and its elements. A simple way to solve puzzles is to understand the nature of the elements of the puzzle.
