The correct answer is 13.
This image is a classic visual puzzle designed to trick your brain because of how the eggs are layered. Here is a detailed breakdown of why people get confused and how to find the 13th egg:
The Breakdown
To count them accurately without getting lost, it is best to divide the plate into sections:
The Outer Ring: There are 9 eggs that touch the edges of the yellow plate.
The Inner Layer: Just inside that outer circle, there is a second layer of 3 eggs forming a small triangle.
The Hidden Center: Underneath that middle triangle, there is 1 final egg right in the very center that acts as a base for the others.
Why it’s a “Test”
The question “12 or 13?” is a psychological trick. Most people count the 12 eggs they see clearly on the surface. Because the eggs are all the same color and have similar shadows, the eye often skips the egg at the very bottom of the pile.
9 (Outer) + 3 (Middle) + 1 (Center) = 13 Eggs.
