The correct Answer is:
To solve the riddle step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Understand the Riddle The riddle states that we need to "go round a square counting every corner thrice and no more." A square has 4 corners. ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Count of Corners If we count each corner thrice: - Number of corners in a square = 4 - Counting each corner thrice: \[ 4 \text{ corners} \times 3 = 12 \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation The riddle also states to "add the count to me to get exactly thirty-four." Let's denote "me" as \( x \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ x + 12 = 34 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), we need to isolate it on one side of the equation: \[ x = 34 - 12 \] \[ x = 22 \] ### Step 5: Conclusion The solution to the riddle is: \[ \text{Who am I? } x = 22 \]
