    You could keep yourself busy with this one ;)

    "If you call my name, I am no longer there."

    Not that hard when you think about it...but isn't that true for almost every riddle?

    auh damn right when i get the answer

    The answer would be 31

    (X/2)-.5 Half her eggs and half an egg
    ((X/2)-.5)/2)-.5 another half her eggs and half an egg
    (((X/2)-.5)/2)-.5)/2)-.5 yet another half her eggs and half an egg

    Now the math

    (((((X/2)-.5)/2)-.5)/2)-.5 = 3
    (((((X/2)-.5)/2)-.5)/2) = 3.5
    (((X/2)-.5)/2)-.5 = 7
    (((X/2)-.5)/2) = 7.5
    (X/2)-.5 = 15
    (X/2) = 15.5
    X = 31

    Check

    (((((31/2)-.5)/2)-.5)/2)-.5
    (((((15.5)-.5)/2)-.5)/2)-.5
    (((15/2)-.5)/2)-.5
    ((7.5-.5)/2)-.5
    ((7)/2)-.5
    3.5-.5
    3
