Alright, you lazy math lovers -- listen up!

1=3
2=3
3=5
4=4
5=4

Then, 6=?

(Actually, these are more tricky riddle questions, so I will provide the answer below in case you give up)

The answer is 3.

Because six has three letters. :v

The answer is 6, because...

Spoiler

Obviously*, for a given number n, the answer is

n div 3 + 3, if n is not divisible by 3
n div 3 + 4, if n is divisible by 3

where "div" means integer division, rounded down.

*just kidding
