"I have 6 eggs. I broke 2, I cooked 2 and ate 2. How many eggs do I have?"
Depends what you did with the two you broke
Now usually when leading up to cooking eggs
One would usually say
I cracked two eggs into the pan and then cooked them
Where as a wasted egg one may say
I was going to crack and bake to eggs but I dropped them on the floor and they broke
I'd say the OP question is ambiguous 
Either way its 2 or 4 |

4 still in the box, 2 in your belly.... Unless you've crapped it out already... In which case that stockpiled bog roll will now be handy |

If we play according to the rules of tenses in grammar, the eggs that were broken, cooked and eaten do not matter. You have six eggs with you. So these six eggs are different from the lot that were broken, cooked and eaten.
The answer therefore is that you have six eggs left. |

After studying all possible answers and looking at the question again I going to go with, “ 0”. |
