Maybe asking "what do I have left?" would work?

That probably would have worked better.

There were six eggs in a basket, and six people each took one egg, but there is one egg left in the basket. How is this possible?

There were six eggs in a basket, and six people each took one egg, but there is one egg left in the basket. How is this possible?

Two solutions I can think of.

1.) The sixth and final person to take an egg also took the basket. So their egg is still in the basket.

2.) The basket totals 7 eggs. Saying there were 6 eggs in the basket is still true even if you omitted information about another egg. In this case, six of the eggs truly there were taken, and one is left.

The first solution is correct. Your cookie awaits.

Here's a fun little discrete thinking problem I found:


You have a jug that holds five gallons, and a jug that holds three gallons. You have no other containers, and there are no markings on the jugs. You need to obtain exactly seven gallons of water from a faucet. How can you do it?

Second Problem: You need exactly four gallons. How do you do it?

Second Problem: You need exactly four gallons. How do you do it?

First Problem: Fill the five gallon jug, pour as much as you can into the three gallon jug, dump out the three gallon jug and pour the remaining two gallons into the three gallon jug. Then fill the five gallon jug.

Second Problem: Fill up the three gallon jug, pour it into the five gallon jug. Fill up the three gallon jug again, and pour as much as you can into the five gallon jug. Empty the five gallon jug. Pour the remaining gallon into the five gallon jug, then fill the three gallon jug again.

A block of some sort made of ice.
