Here’s a little riddle from Don Lemon, Everybody’s Illustrated Book of Puzzles, 1890:
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?

Wonderful — and beyond me, pre-coffee. Maybe post-coffee, now that I think of it.

ESP that’s another clue,
So then us are two,
and with that in view,
You are three…true?

Which browser are you using? I’m just curious since the code I’m using to display the solution is correct. From what I understand, rowsers that don’t support newer HTML5 tags like Edge and IE would just display the hidden text.
Thanks.
