Hard
Horror Riddle
Double my number, I'm less than a score, and half of my number is less than four. Add one to my double when bakers are near, days of the week are still greater, I fear. What am I?
Choose an answer
A.The number seven
B.The number five
C.The number eight
D.The number six.
Answer: The number six.
Doubling 6 gives 12 (less than a score/20), half of 6 is 3 (less than 4), and doubling 6 plus 1 gives 13, a baker's dozen, which is still less than the 7 days of the week... the clues all point to six.
