How many?

Aw, @PamfromTx :unsure::oops::rolleyes::censored::cry: I just meant to be silly.
I apologize if my wording made you sad, or if it seemed like I didn't appreciate your positive sentiment, which I actually truthfully did.:confused:
 
How do we know the eggs are stacked uniformly? There could be a long line of eggs behind what's visible in the stack from that angle. Hell, there could be 100 eggs! Or 1,000! Or what's visible from that angle could be all there is. They could be super-glued together so they don't collapse, which would mean there's only 16 eggs. There are an infinite number of possibilities!

That's how I used to think when I'd take an exam, which is why sometimes I didn't do so well if the answer wasn't cut-and-dry.
 
I’m a simple, practical sort. My critical thinking skills aren’t bad, but still, in these kinds of puzzles I tend to take things literally, to not think much beyond what I can observe. (i.e.I dont engage in the what if’s or the how do we know’s. I don’t think about whether glue is involved, if I’m supposed to count the egg in the question itself etc)

So. In this puzzle, I can see a total of 8 white eggs in the bottom row, and so I extrapolate. Logic tells me that there are 16 total on the bottom else how can the row above be supported?

I applied the same logic to the brown egg row and the beige egg row. 9 in the brown egg row and 4 in the beige egg row.

16 + 9 + 4 = 29. Add the last egg on the top, and voila!! 30 eggs in total!
 
Using Google, the answer came up as 30. One lady on YouTube had a four minute explanation of why. I didn’t listen except for the last 15 seconds.

These clickbait titles always say that “95% will get it wrong.” Never give an answer. I think they just want to create frustration.
