The correct answer is THREE.
The answer to this riddle is… three! I have three eggs. It all hinges on one very important word: If. If I had 4 eggs… implying that I don’t actually have them! That’s right, those first four eggs that we all took for granted are actually just an eggcellent fantasy. (Sorry). You have four imaginary eggs, but then a kindly thief happens by and gives you three. (Maybe the eggs came from their own chickens, rather than off the back of a truck?). Roosters can’t lay eggs, so those five are impossible, which leaves you with a total of three eggs!
Seven. No doubt if you are a philosopher, you are still working out the answer.
7 roosters (until today) do not lay eggs.
