he must pay to get to town, the 1st toll he explains he has no money, so in order to pay the toll he gives 1/2 the eggs he has + 1/2 an egg. he comes to the 2nd toll, he explains he has no $. He gives 1/2 of what he has + 1/2 an egg. He goes through the toll @ the next toll he says he has no $, he gives 1/2 of what he had + another 1/2 an egg & goes through the toll...he gets into town and has no eggs...how many eggs did he start with ???

He started out with 7 eggs
first toll got 3 & 1/2 eggs + 1/2 =4 eggs
sec toll got 1 & 1/2 eggs + 1/2 = 2 eggs
third toll got 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 egg
4 eggs + 2 eggs + 1 egg =7 eggs

1/2 + 1/2 + 1 + 1/2 + 2 + 1/2 = 5
hmm.. doesnt look right
1/2+1/2 + 2 + 1/2 + 7 + 1/2 = 11 this looks better
1/2 + 1/2= 1
(1+1/2)x2 = 3
(3+1/2)x2 =7 final answer.. hahah... silly me

How do you give someone 1/2 an egg? Was it hard boiled?
