Begin at the top of the pan and move slowly:
- One yolk at the top
- A second yolk slightly to the right
- A third yolk nearby
- Move down and count the next visible yolk
- Continue left to right, top to bottom
This prevents double-counting or skipping any.
Step 4: Watch for Yolks Close Together
Some yolks are very close to each other, especially near the bottom of the pan. At quick glance, two yolks may look like one larger shape. Look carefully at the edges and highlights on the yolks to separate them visually.
Step 5: Final Count
After carefully scanning the entire pan and counting only the distinct yolks, the total number of eggs in the pan is:
🥚 10 eggs 🥚
Why This Image Is Tricky
- The egg whites have blended into one large shape
- The yolks are evenly colored and similar in size
- Some yolks are positioned very close together
This makes the image perfect for engagement, curiosity, and comments—many people guess wrong on the first try.
Conclusion
Although it may look like fewer at first glance, a careful, step-by-step inspection reveals that there are exactly 10 eggs in the pan. This kind of visual puzzle works extremely well for social media, blogs, and high-engagement articles because it invites the reader to stop, look closely, and think.
