A Basket Full of Eggs

Back to Ron's Puzzle Page!


Eggs Image You're at a Farmers market when you happen to spot an old lady with her arms around a basket of eggs. As you get closer you can tell the basket is fairly large. When you reach her you ask, "How many eggs do you have?"

A smile slowly comes to her face and in a voice so small it's hard to hear she says, "The number of eggs I have could be equally split between 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 people. If there was one more egg they could also be equally split between 7 people."

What's the fewest number of eggs she could have in her basket?
