I got the answer correct. However I have no idea how the problem has to do with combinatorics.

I don't found an appropriate topic to post it. I think combinatorics or computer science are right, but I chose combinatorics. If is wrong, what topic is appropriate to this problem?

Oh no, sorry for the misunderstanding. I never meant for it to say that you were incorrect in your picking of the topic to post it in. It's just that if this is part of Combinatorics, I have never seen this type of problem before and I would like to view other examples.

@Tytan Le Nguyen – All right! I think combinatorics because you need to find a number with the same number of letters as you value. I think that the number FOUR is the only number with this property.

I think that you should re-word your question. As of right now, it is a bit too vague. I had to think what your question means for about 2 minutes before assuming that it refers to the number of numbers that have the same value as itself.

Choose the number which has the same number of letters as its name Eg: THREE: 5 letters TWO: 3 letters ONE: 3 letters FOUR: 4 letters (just like its name).

Pretty confusing, but amazing once you get it. Here's how it works:

You can rearange the original question to the sentence "How many letters does the correct answer of this equation have?". Therefore, the correct answer must be a number, and the value it represents is the amount of letters it has.

We immediately see that "Four" has 4 letters, and that's the number it describes as well!

1st Answer-- No answer has one letter, therefore it is incorrect. 2nd-- Two answers have three letters, so this answer is incorrect, as it makes it impossible. 3rd-- No answer has two letters, so it must be incorrect. 4rth-- The last answer has four letters and is the only one. It is correct.
