Presumably 4

you HAD a dozen when your started.

Looks like three of the 6 remaining are on the left.

Thanks for the picture, it helps to refine the answer.

The first sentence makes your answer incorrect. The sentance has "have", not "had".

SIX

[Witness1970]

The words broke 2 are ambiguous.  I break eggs before I fry them and eat them.  it would be tha same 2 eggs.

 

But the words "I HAVE six eggs" indicates that you have 6 eggs after you 'broke 2, fried 2 and ate 2' so, the answer is 6 are left.

4, but @Witness1970 makes a good point. It's hard to tell if there is a language barrier sometimes.

If you had shown an image of a carton of a dozen eggs the answer would have been obvious!

From my perspective, there are 2 eggs on the left, two on the right and two in the middle.

All depends on your point of view and/or perspective

 

 

So, if you are using

• their position in the carton or picture - since it is on an angle - 2 or 3 would both be correct answers.
• the grammar, since it uses "have", not "had", 6 should be a correct answer
• using the logic of the usage, 4 or 0 would both be acceptable answers

The overall ambiguousness of this riddle makes it so, no matter what answer people give, 99% will always be wrong since there is not a single correct answer.
