The correct answer

The Sun claims that only 5% of people are able to solve this task correctly.

It is best to start counting the eggs from the bottom. The shell is square and can hold 4 eggs in width and length. We multiply 4 * 4 and get the answer 16. That is how many eggs are in the first row.

For each level we repeat the algorithm. That is, there will be nine eggs on the second floor, four on the third, and only one egg on the fourth.

As a result, we get: 16+9+4+1 = 30 eggs.
