Answer: Two. The numbers represent the number of syllables in the names of months of the year, beginning with January. The seventh month is July, which has two syllables.
42. I have a polynomial equation that proves it!

THIS IS NOT A “BRAIN GAME”!!! It’s a guessing game at best. The numbers have nothing to do with each other!

i agree with jojo these aren’t riddles as much as they are “are you weird enough to know what I’m thinking of right now”

I agree with what others have said. Most people won’t think of months since there are only 6 numbers here.
Not much of a riddle, but still interesting.

Without belaboring the point, our Brain Games have always varied. Riddles are just part of them. We’ve also had rebuses, crosswords, and other types of puzzles. Sorry today’s entry didn’t win you over.

People like to complain…they complain if it seems to easy, or if it’s too difficult, too random…blah blah!
