once there was a farmer who had some hens in his farm that is near his house , went oneday to collect the egges from the hens, he did and came back with the egges, ( he didn't know how many egges were there) in his way he met a man who asked his "" pls give me half the egges and half an egg'', the man asked him to take what he wants, and then gone , after a while he met and other man and asked him the same,'' pls give me half the egges and half and egg'' the man told him to take them, after an other while he met an other man and asked him the same request '' pls give me half the egges and half an egg'' the man replies with the same, he gave him what he asked for,
Note. none of the egges was broken into halves,
when the man arrived home he looked at his bag he found out that the egges were finished,
so who can tell how many egges were there ?!!

The guy started with seven eggs.
He gave half his eggs plus half an egg to the first man (3 1/2 plus 1/2 = 4) which left him with 3 eggs.
He gave half of these eggs plus half an egg to the second man (1 1/2 plus 1/2 = 2) which left him with 1 egg.
He gave half ot these eggs plus half an egg (1/2 plus 1/2 = 1) to the third man, which left him with no eggs.
He started with 7 eggs.

Difficult to read and understand... so it is difficult to answer this riddle.. sounds like a good one though...
working backwards... I believe that the last person took one egg as that would make it 1/2 + 1/2 and would leave none left but I can not understand the second part to know how to proceed...

you think people will read more than "how many eggs were there?"
