    This is my second riddle. If you get it right, you get 10 creds. To win, you must get the answer right, and you must explain how you got it.

    Riddle:

    A women is selling eggs. She sells half her eggs and half and egg to her first customer. She sells half her remaining eggs and half and egg to her second second customer. She sells half her remaining eggs and half an egg to her third customer. She ends up with 3 eggs. How many did she start with? At no point did she break and egg.

    I'm gonna say 14 eggs. I did some math in my head, but I lost track of what I did after I got that answer. If it isnt that, then I have one more I can try.

    Fix that typo I can't tell what the hell you mean!

    And how the f!u!ck do you sell half of an egg?

    I say 25.5 and I know that is right. (about 98%)

    Well I guess 26 but thee is an issue with the riddle. she sold 3 halves. So she had 26.5 eggs to start with. ended up with 3. add the (half) 3 =6.5, the half of remaining and another half you get 13. then another remaining half and half an egg is 26.5!!!!

    it probably has nothing to do with actual eggs (such as from a chicken) but i have no clue what the answer is

    scratch that....

    7 eggs. The first person bought one half of his eggs plus one half an egg (3 1/2 + 1/2 = 4 eggs) This left him 3 eggs. The second person bought one-half of his eggs plus one half an egg, (1 1/2 + 1/2 = 2 eggs) leaving the man 1 egg. The last person bought one-half of his eggs plus one-half an egg, (1/2 + 1/2 = 1 egg) leaving no eggs.

    :) (i searched "egg riddle on google") lolol keep ur creds i dont deserve em :(
