You have 10 cookies.
3 in your body, 7 uneaten.

@romeeeo;
correct for the wrong reasons.
the problem was that you HAVE 10 (present)
you ATE 3 (past)
so you HAVE (again present) 10
you see, 'ate' is past tense, so it's assumed to have already happened. 'have' is present, so if I HAVE 10 cookies and ate 3 before hand, then I have 10 because ate is past tense
WORDPLAY!

Ah, I see your reasoning. My answer can still make sense though, but is a little fatuous.
Interesting scheme nonetheless.

Uh... I think it was the burger that ate it. No, was it the whale spider? No, I think the choice... no... A-... Forget it, I think it's 16-Coolhair. It's my best.
