Why is 6 afraid of 7?
- A.
Because seven eight nine!
- B.
6 isn't afraid of anyone
Correct Answer
A. Because seven eight nine!Explanation
The answer "Because seven eight nine!" is a play on words. In the question, "eight" is pronounced the same way as the word "ate." So, when it says "seven eight nine," it sounds like "seven ate (eight) nine," which is a pun. This is a common joke where the numbers are personified, and 6 is afraid because 7 is eating the number 9. The second statement "6 isn't afraid of anyone" is incorrect and not related to the joke.Rate this question:
