Time has started and you need to find the forth number, but how?

Well, here's a clue. Let's take a good look at the drawings, and recognize that the images of the eggs form a part of the solution.

Have you got an answer yet? We are about to reveal the solution, but if you need more time, keep trying.

The answer

The answer

The missing number is 25, but how did we get this answere? The important thing was, as we said, to carefully study the eggs. The eggs are made of whites and yolks and the answer lies here.

In the first image, we have an albumen and a yolk, which give the number 11 (1 egg in 1 set). In the second image, there is only one albumen (1 set) and three yolks, which gives us to 13. In the lower left image, the number is 23 , because we have 2 egg whites (2 sets) and 3 yolks. In the fourth image, there are two egg whites (2 sets) and 5 yolks, so the number can only be 25.

How did you do on this challenge?
