"Christopher Columbus’s Egg Puzzle",
as it appeared in Sam Loyd’s "Cyclopedia of Puzzles" (1914)
The famous trick-chicken, Americus Vespucius, after whom our great country was named, showed a clever puzzle wherein you are asked to lay nine eggs so as to form the greatest possible number of rows of three-in-line. King Puzzlepate has only succeeded in getting eight rows, as shown in the picture, but Tommy says a smart chicken can do better than that !
