Riddle

Double my number, I'm less than a score, and half of my number is less than four. Add one to my double when bakers are near, days of the week are still greater, I fear. What am I?

Choose an answer

A.The number seven
B.The number five
C.The number eight
D.The number six.
Hint: It's a 3-word phrase with 12 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

The number six.

Why this is the answer

Doubling 6 gives 12 (less than a score/20), half of 6 is 3 (less than 4), and doubling 6 plus 1 gives 13, a baker's dozen, which is still less than the 7 days of the week... the clues all point to six.
