Title: Borg collective?
Post by alien2 on Aug 24^th, 2017, 12:55pm

1. I am one.
2. I am two.
3. I am three.
4. I am not four.
5. What am I?

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.

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.
