Twice six are eight of us,
Six are but three of us,
Nine are but four of us,
What can we possibly be?
Would you know more of us?
I'll tell you more of us.
Twelve are but six of us,
Five are but four of us, now do you see?

The answer is: The number of letters contained in each numeral word.

I've seen this riddle from you before, and even though my answer was correct, it was not correct enough. I never did get the final answer.

I've gotten three answers, but so far only one of them is correct.

Garr, specifically to address your response (both in the past and today), its like me asking, what is 2 + 2 equal to. And you giving me "a whole number" as the answer. While, it is correct, because 4 IS a whole number, its not specific enough unless you actually answer 4.

A hint to help you, highlight the rest of the sentence --> The answer is not "Letters". You need to tell me what kind of letters, not just that the answer is letters... <--

We are now up to three correct answers!!!

If you don't get it today, hopefully it will all make sense tomorrow when I post the answer...

Answer has been posted. Would have done it earlier, but I was off work today. I'll post a new one tomorrow.
