Sleepyjack, these are originally puzzles where you are allowed to ask "yes or no" questions of the person to determine what went on. TIO just knows them all, like I do. Did you go through a gifted program in school, perhaps? And where are your riddles, Mr. Smarty Man, TIO?
Sleepyjack, your answer is "three." Number of letters in the word version of the number, e.g. four -- four, three -- five, etc.
And Cynthetiq's is Superman/Kryptonite.

Heh, I think the game Monkey Island 2 has a puzzle like this one, where the guy shows you three sets of fingers, telling you what the first two sets are, and in order to guess the password, you'd have to guess the third set of fingers based on the information/hints given from the first two.
