4 eggs left

Let’s analyze the situation step-by-step:

  1. You start with six eggs.
  2. You broke two eggs. (This action doesn’t reduce the total number of eggs; it just changes their state from whole to broken.)
  3. You fried two eggs. (You could have fried the two broken eggs, so this action also doesn’t reduce the total number of eggs.)
  4. You ate two eggs. (You could have eaten the two fried eggs.)

So, assuming you ate the two fried eggs, you still have four eggs left, since breaking and frying don’t remove the eggs from the total count.

Thus, the number of eggs left is:

60(broken)0(fried)2(eaten)=46 – 0 (broken) – 0 (fried) – 2 (eaten) = 4

You have 4 eggs left.
