Here we will at give you the answer to the riddle.
The answer to the riddle “If I had 4 eggs and a thief gave me 3 and my rooster laid 5 more. How many do I have?” is 3.
The riddle says one should read it carefully. First part of the sentence “If I had 4 eggs”, this means that I had 4 eggs (and do not have them anymore). Next part: “a thief gave me 3”. This means I now have 3. Last part: “rooster laid 5 more”. This does not mean I have those eggs now.
This means that the correct answer to the riddle is 3.
