How Many Eggs Are Left? A Riddle That Confuses 99% of People

I have 6 eggs. Initial number = 6 eggs
I cracked 2.
Now you have 4 whole eggs left, but you still have all of them (the cracked ones are still there, just cracked).
I fried 2.
Usually, to fry an egg… you have to crack it first! So the 2 I fried are probably the same ones I cracked.
I ate 2.

And of course, if I fried them, I ate them later. So it’s very likely that the two I ate are also the same ones I fried and cracked.

So… How many eggs do I have left?

If I break, fry, and eat 2 eggs, the remaining 4 eggs will remain intact. No further action is mentioned regarding them.
