Each Friday morning I post a riddle or brain teaser. The idea is to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. Share this with friends or coworkers if you cannot figure out the answer.
Post your answers in the comments section and I’ll confirm the correct responses after lunch to give everyone a fair chance.
This week’s riddle: There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each take one of the eggs. How can it be that one egg is left in the basket?
