This classic riddle asks:
“What has four fingers and a thumb but isn’t alive?”
At first, it sounds like the answer should be a hand. But a hand is part of a living person, so that doesn’t fit the clue.
The trick is to think of something shaped like a hand.
It has separate spaces for four fingers and another for a thumb, but it cannot move, think, or live on its own.
You probably wear one when it’s cold outside, when doing certain jobs, or when protecting your hands.
Answer: A glove.
