Err.. it is no secret that math isn't my bag. From this it is logical conclude that there is a possibility that the intended answer is quite illogical? Not to me, but that does not necessarily mean I am right. See what I mean?

Now I am puzzled. I told you I suck at math. Whatever do you mean? Not the intended answer.

Some people are average, some are just mean.

He probably thought it might have to do with roman numerals, i.e. 1=i=one letter, 2=ii=two letters etc.

That makes sense. And yet, IV is still 4. Is it not? I'll leave that to You to decide.
The expected answer is, I am four. Does THAT make any sense to you? Probably not. Go ahead and delete this 'riddle' if you will.

Grimbal's answer fits the clues well! 
I don't understand alien2's answer yet.

If so, why did he delete it then?

Good thing you are not emotional. However, if I unintentionally crossed the line with my babbling or dumb replies, I must apologize. It appears, even I, alien2, am not neither immune nor impervious to making a mistake. Need I remind you that there were wars in the past that broke out because of a simple misunderstanding. I can only hope, that my good intentions, will not be a catalyst for a war between humans and aliens. I will continue to work for peace by writing riddles for humans which I consider a humane race, although a bit too violent at times.
