Easy riddle, but very clever - saw it in a childrens book last week?
At the age of four, I answered to Ivy,
At six, my name was Vi.
At 40 I felt I could really excel
At anything I'd try
At 54 you could call me Liv,
But I knew I was getting old,
When at 99, I had a dreadful feeling
Of being really cold.
Ok so far, but what are they exactly?
Excellent Drop the phone - I struggled with the last one myself at first.

it's Roman numerals.
Source(s): edit: it already says so in the riddle, but ok. IV is 4 VI is 6 XL would be 40 LIV is 54 and IC is 99. edit: glad to see my highschool Latin is good for something :-) - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.

*well-known childrens e book-Junie B. Jones *play doh or lincoln logs- i might could say play dogh, even however my mom in no way bought it for me while i replaced into little because of the fact it replaced into too messy. yet i purely performed with lincoln logs in school. i replaced into extra of a Lego guy or woman.

IV,VI,XXXX,LIV,IC
If they hadn't said Roman Numerals, I wouldn't have gotten it. Thanx, folks, but it's only worth 5 now.
