Is the right number (6)
I believe the answer is:
twenty
'number' is the definition.
(twenty is a kind of whole number)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twenty that I've seen before include "previous clue?" , "No. between 5 and 1 on dartboard" , "made by Q on a light blue square" , "Number" , "Figure" .)
