What is it that comes
i. Once in a year
ii. Twice in a months
iii. Four times in a week
iv. Six times in a day
The riddle is somewhat vague and can have multiple answers. I could figure out two of them. Lets see what are they:
1. ODD NUMBERS :
Explanation:
Once in a year: We have only 1 new year every year. (Might sound a little weird -:P) Take odd number out. Here’s only 1 (i.e. once).
Twice in a month : We have 4 weeks every month.
So, 4 weeks = 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Now take odd numbers out-> 1st & 3rd (i.e. twice).
Four Times in a week : We have 7 days in a week.
Now take odd numbers out 1, 3, 5 and 7 (i.e. four times).
Six Times in a day : We have 12 hours in a day.
Now take odd numbers out 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 (i.e. six times).
2. Letter ‘F’ :
Explanation:
Once in a year: 1 year = 12 months, i.e. February ->`F` comes once while counting in the spelling of all months).
Twice in a month : 1 month has 4 weeks, i.e. First, Fourth -> ‘F’ comes twice in the counting of weeks in a month).
Four Times in a week : 1 week has 7 days i.e. First, Fourth, Fifth -> ‘F’ comes 4 times in the counting of days in a week).
Six Times in a day : 1 day has 24 hours i.e. Four, Five, Fourteen, Fifteen, Twenty-Four -> ‘F’ comes 6 times in the counting of hours in a day).
i. Once in a year: The answer is "New Year's Day." It comes once every year on January 1st.
ii. Twice in a month: The answer is "Full Moon." The moon goes through its cycle and appears full twice in a month, approximately every 29.5 days.
iii. Four times in a week: The answer is "The Letter 'E'". The letter 'E' appears four times in the word "week."
iv. Six times in a day: The answer is "The Letter 'M'". The letter 'M' appears six times in the word "day."
To find the answer, let's break down each statement and determine what fits the given criteria:
i. Once in a year: There is something that occurs once every year. This could be an event, a holiday, or a specific date. Examples include New Year's Day, Christmas, or your birthday.
ii. Twice in a month: There is something that happens twice within a single month. This could be related to a specific day or an occurrence. An example might be the full moon, as it typically appears twice within a month.
iii. Four times in a week: There is something that occurs exactly four times in a week. This could be related to a particular day of the week or an event that repeats weekly. Examples might include the four seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) or the occurrence of a certain television show airing on four specific days.
iv. Six times in a day: There is something that happens six times within a single day. This could be related to a routine activity or an event that repeats multiple times daily. Examples might include meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three snacks), or checking the time on a clock throughout the day.
Keep in mind that these answers are simply examples, and the riddle may have multiple correct answers based on the perspective or interpretation.
