Easter eggs
I have in my hand a basket containing five Easter eggs.
My five young nephews (Al, Bill, Carl, Dave and Evan) are at my feet, all eagerly asking for an egg.
Is it possible for me to give all five of them an egg and still have one egg remaining in the basket?

Then I hand the basket -- containing the one remaining egg -- to Evan.
