Take away the “S” from “SIX” and you are left with”IX” which is Roman numerals for “9”.

This is so simple there has to be a catch.

Start with 11, remove 1/3 of 6 =2; then you arrive at 9

going backward, start with 9 add 2 arrive at 11.
 
Roman numerals. Six less s = ix.

Good Morning Riddle Masters! ☺️

Happy Monday! (Or Saturday afternoon if you’re getting to this and early 😏)

We are super excited to give you the first riddle of the week courtesy of member Suzi H. It’s a tough one so be sure to think outside of the box! So here it goes:

”If you remove one-third of 6 you get 9,“
Mad mathematician Merv Mainchance, assured his class.
The children, accustomed to Merv’s lunatic lapses, solved the conundrum immediately.
Can you?


Well, I definitely can’t. I have no idea how to answer this one, and it almost gave me a headache, thanks member Suzi! 😭 But I believe you lot can answer this one! 😉

As always a 'spoiler' button will hide yours and others' answers. To see those answers, simply click the 'spoiler' button, but try your best to crack the riddle yourself first!

Good luck and happy riddle-ing!

Eleven

It can be either 11 or 9, depending on whether or not one is using the Hindu-Arabic system (1,2,3,4 etc) or the Roman numbering system (IX=9)
