'Had four eggs' implies the past and can not be considered applicable to the present state of egg ownership. A thief has magnanimously given me 3 eggs, but they are a thief, so if I am a good samaritan, I can not claim ownership of these eggs until a future time wherein the law grants me such privilege. My one remaining source of egg lay with my magic rooster which has laid five, however I have not presently taken any of them so they must be counted towards the rooster's total and not mine.

Thus, it can be said that presently speaking, with the most honest reading of the statements as presented, I can surely conclude that 0 is the correct summation of all the eggs that I possess.
