DAY 5 OF 365 DAY CHALLENGE: PUTTING ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET

QUESTION:  A basket has 6 eggs in it. 6 people come along and each takes an egg, but there is still one egg left in the basket.
Think about this..... the answer will be at the end of this rant.

So, everyone has heard that old saying: "don't put all your eggs in one basket" - in other words, spread the risk, but along came the likes of Mark Twain (who, you ask.....Google him) who embroidered on this -
"Put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket." 

Here are a few more thoughts on this logic......Why put all your eggs in one basket:
- because you want to.
- because you can
- because you like to live dangerously
- because no one else is doing it
- because everyone else is doing it

The answer to the question we began with:

The last person took the egg along with the basket, so one egg remained in the basket
