The riddle asks, “How many of us are there?” based on the statement:
“I have 4 brothers, and each brother has 4 brothers.”
Let’s break it down:
- You have 4 brothers, which means there are 5 brothers in total (including yourself).
- Each of your 4 brothers also has 4 brothers, which refers to the same 5 brothers (including you).
So, the total number of “us” is 5 brothers.
