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!
Take away the S and you have IX

Also six has 3 letters and by removing one letter (one-third) you have two letters left IX.
The Roman symbol for nine.

He's talking about Roman numerals. If you remove the "s" from six, you're left with "ix", which is 9 in Roman numerals.

six -x = ix, so taking away the s leaves ix. ix in Latin is nine
