Question

Solve the following riddles, you may yourself construct such riddles.
I am a special number
Take away from me a six!
A whole cricket team
You will still be able to fix!

Answer 1

Hint: There are two sentences ending with exclamation marks. First is for the variable and second is the condition to solve for the variable.

Complete step by step answer:
Let us consider the special number to be $x$.
Considering the second sentence, the leftover number is 11, as there are 11 players in a cricket team. So our equation is as follows:
$
   \Rightarrow x - 6 = 11 \\
   \Rightarrow x = 17 \\
$
So, our special number is 17.

Note: If you search for the number 17, it is considered special in terms of one’s fortune in astrology and numerology. Otherwise, logically it is just another odd prime number.
