Nope 4 is my answer .

Oh. Well, that’s not the correct answer. This is one of those annoying riddles, where you shriek “that’s not fair!” when you learn the answer.

No, not nonsense. It’s a perfectly sensible answer but still annoying.

Hint: it has to do with verb tenses

Let's try a riddle.

I have six eggs. I broke two, I've fried two and I ate two. How many eggs are left?

Democrats left or just leaning that way?

I'm guessing you have six left.
Six left from originally eight ???

Six is the correct answer but how you sorted it out is incorrect.

It’s all about the tenses. So, you “have” six eggs - you broke two, you fried two and you ate two. But you still HAVE six eggs.

Oh, I get it now.

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?

real good
but
close
no cigar
Type like a Phoenician


..........................................
I have read that the Phoenicians may have had a symbol for Y which seems to only have been used at the end of a word
so
I was confused
but went ahead and posted anyway
