PART IV: DISH ONE — THE TWO EGGS YOU TOUCH
Soft Scrambled Eggs with Butter
These are the two eggs you pick up, crack, cook, and eat.
Step 1: Crack Two Eggs
Crack only two eggs into a bowl.
Whisk gently with salt.
Notice what you’re doing.
You are not touching the others.
Step 2: Cook Slowly
Melt butter over low heat.
Stir constantly.
Remove before fully set.
Soft scrambled eggs reward patience.
Rush them, and they punish you.
Just like riddles.
You eat these eggs.
They’re gone.
PART V: DISH TWO — THE FOUR EGGS YOU DIDN’T TOUCH
Perfect Boiled Eggs (Observation Without Interference)
The remaining four eggs stay whole — untouched by the first dish.
Step 1: Place Four Eggs in Water
Bring to a gentle boil.
Turn off heat and cover for 10 minutes.
You didn’t crack them earlier.
You didn’t cook them earlier.
They still exist.
This is where most people fail the riddle.
They feel like more eggs were used — but feeling isn’t fact.
PART VI: DISH THREE — TURNING ASSUMPTIONS INTO CLARITY
Egg Salad (Breaking What Actually Remains)
Now — and only now — do you use the remaining eggs.
Step 1: Peel and Chop
