Riddle

Why is 6 afraid of 7?

Choose an answer

A.Because 7 is bigger
B.Because 6 is unlucky
C.Because 7 comes after 6
D.Because 7 ate 9 (7, 8, 9).
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 10 letters, starting with "B".

Answer

Because 7 ate 9 (7, 8, 9).

Why this is the answer

This classic pun turns "seven ate nine" into "7, 8, 9," implying 7 "ate" 9, which would scare 6, who comes right before 7.
