My first is a number, my second another
And each I assure you will rhyme with the other
My first you will find is one fifth of my second
And truly my whole's a long period reckoned
But my first and my second (nay, think me not cozen)
When added together will make but two dozen

This riddle has been up forever but got shoved to the bottom of the list by other submissions... it really isn't that hard, but you do need to think outside the box for part of it.... wink

Well 4 and 20 add up to 24 or two dozen. 20 divided by 5 is 4, but 20 and 4 don't rhyme. Sooo.... I guess that means there's still something missing.

Ah, but you have the right answer, kapow. There is a unit of measure that rhymes with four.... it is called score and it pertains to a unit of twenty. blaugh lol

Oooh, I get it! Like in the Gettysburg Address (forgive me if I spelled it wrong): Four score and seven years ago... I forgot that score ment 20. Oops...

Spelling matters little to me, unless it is a gross error like typing this nonsense:
Liek, LOL, What is U doin 2nihgt???
Other than that, I could care less. And Four Score is indeed the answer.
