James ordered a fishing rod, priced at $3.56. Unfortunately, James is an Eskimo who lives in a very remote part of Greenland and the import rules forbid any package longer than 4 feet to be imported.

Twice ten are six of us,

Six are but three of us,

Nine are but four of us;

Five are but four, do you see?

What are we?

I have four wings but can't fly.
I express no emotions.

In a jungle where there are no street lights or any other artificial source of lights, I notice a black snake crossing the road.
How did I get sight of the snake?

They came out at night, without being called.

Who are they?

I never was there, I am always to be.
You have never ever seen me, not ever you will.
Yet I am the confidence of everyone.

Who Am I?
