A Simple Yet Powerful Riddle That Reveals How Our Brains Work
Introduction
A riddle has appeared on social media that, despite its apparent simplicity, has baffled millions. It goes like this:
“I have 6 eggs. I cracked 2. I fried 2. I ate 2. How many eggs do I have left?”

I cracked 2.
Now there are 4 whole eggs left, but you still have them all (the cracked ones are still there, just cracked).

They say the secret to your personality is the length of this finger. For me, that’s uncanny!
It seems like every time I turn around, science announces some bizarre and often unpleasant discovery. But for the first time in a long time, science has produced findings that are not only pleasing but downright entertaining. According to recent studies, the length of your ring finger provides a reliable personality test. This is because the length of your ring finger reveals how much testosterone you were exposed to in the womb. The longer or shorter it is, the more meaningful the finding. I thought it was all just hocus-pocus, but when I saw my results, I was amazed. I knew that the palms of our hands supposedly reveal a lot about us, but the fingers? To find out what your hands say about you, compare your hand to the image below.
To find out what your fingers say about you, extend your left hand and compare it to the images below. Hand “A” means that your ring finger is longer than your index finger. Hand “B” means that your index finger is longer than your ring finger. Hand “C” means that your ring and index fingers are the same length.
Hand “A” means that you are charming!
Are you often approached by others, or do they respond positively to your flirting attempts? This is probably because your ring finger is longer than your index finger.
You radiate confidence and charm and are therefore more likely to take risks—which often pay off. Some might find you a bit assertive, but if you know what you want, why not go for it?
