Answer:
As noted above, the mystery is quite controversial. The most popular answer is: there are 4 eggs left. This answer has the following explanation: since in order to cook an egg it must be broken, it turns out that 2 eggs were broken, then cooked and the same 2 eggs were eaten. And in the end there are 4 eggs left.
Another option for the correct answer is that there are 2 eggs left. It comes from the following reasoning: 2 eggs were broken, that is already minus 2 eggs, the other 2 eggs were cooked and eaten, and in the end there were 2 whole eggs left.
Another version – 2 eggs broke, 2 were cooked and 2 were eaten raw, which of course is also probable, but this version looks the most convincing.
