As far as number riddles go, this one is pretty lousy. Not quite as bad as the "Now subtract the number you started with..." ones, but close. Here's a better one:
Take a number. Any number, doesn't matter what kind. Just for example, let's say seventy-four, because I like seventy-four. Then you count the letters. The word "seventy-four" has eleven letters. So now we take "eleven"- six letters, so we get to "six". Keep going until you reach the end- you'll know it when you see it. Try this with any number, and see what happens!
