This is a Turkish riddle that some elders used to like ask kids. Who can translate it into english and give me the answer? Good luck.

Can it be this simple?

 

You get five eggs for five piasters, so how many piasters do five eggs cost?

 

Then it should be beş but maybe I missed something. What do others say?

Yes it is a very simple riddle. And your way of translations is correct.  However in the Turkish sentence the question sounds more elusive to catch than your english translations. Thanks for your correct answer Wink
