I'm less than 10.

What am I?
Hint
The middle tens are the 50's!Answer
The answer is the word "and".It's between .56 and 100 letters.
It's not a decimal ( You can't have decimal letters!).
It's not 100 letters.
It's not an even # because it isn't a #.
There aren't between 50 and 59 letters.
The word has more letters than 2.
There are less than 10 letters.
There are not 7 letters.
The word "and" does not go into the word ten.
So the word "and" fits the bill.

rofl i was looking for a number *eyeroll*
tsk the answer cud have been 3,5 or 9
MAN you should have seen my paper!!! i was looking for a number. This is going into me favs! Great teaser!
i guessed 9. good though
I guessed 9 to!
...what's wrong with 9?
...what's wrong with 9?
CLEVER!!!
Wha?????
It was pretty hard to try to write this teaser because at first I was going to make the answer 3 but then I realy thought to fool.
AHHHH that was frustrating u made me do MATH!!!!! ahhhh
good teaser though but the hint should hav been that the answor wasnt a number. it would probably thrown alot of ppl off!

I got it...But only because it said it was between .56 AND 100...
Why couldn't it have been any other three letter word?
nathalia it couldn't be 5 because it specifically said that it didn't go into 10. I didn't guess 9, I was thinking 3! Hey it's 3 a.m. Good work author!
it could have been 3 or 9 couldn't it?
That was a great teaser, but my head hurts. Too much thinking...
WHAT!!!
I tried and tried and then saw the answer and said "you jerk!" But, that is a compliment! That was a good "trick" question - way to go.
lol ummm i said 3 4 6 7 8 9 but that shows how trickable (if thats even a word im tired) i am Great teaser loved it!
tricked me there!
good one
good one
stupid!
It looks good on paper after the answer is given, but it really needs suspension of all logic to solve... With another clue to rule out 9, your original 3 would have been a better answer.
it was kool. i didnt get it at all, ut maybe i will someday!

Actually, "and" does not fit the bill.
Here's why:
"The word has more letters than 2"
t-w-o
a-n-d
Two has three letters in it.
And has three letters in it.
And can't be the correct answer.
It's a clever concept, but needs some work.
(For example: The number 3 would be a correct answer as well, so you'd have to find a way to rule it out.)

(Forgot to add this)
For the sake of fairness, if you were taking each comment literally, in what way is the word "and" above the number 2?

I liked it, it was a cute idea.
I actually got it!! At first, I was looking for a #, but then I knew better because it was a trick.
ummmm.....I JUST GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL!!! That was really good
ME too Misty and TheFarce i agree with you and isnt above 2 but the rest was good...
nice observation farce. I never thought of that.
I did not get it .
i got 9 also, but its a "trick teaser" and this is the first one i missed ,,,(so far)
great job!
great job!
totally agree with nathalia
it could be 3,5 n 8
can't it
it could be 3,5 n 8
can't it
oops...imean
3 n 9
3 n 9
yes it could have been 3 or 9.
i guess its a question of how you look at it.

that was a waste of time and energy
Well ya tricked me!!
ha ha not bad not bad it's ok good job...
it's ok...
I didn't do math because it's a trick.

it cant be any three letter word because it tells you the answer in the proplem, but its hidden. it says its between .59 and 100. and what word is between those in the teaser? and.
oh, i for got to say. very clever. i loved it!
Thanks for the comments, ummm. im revised it because i started to try to get my la teacher to figure it out... if u try it now and will fit in better.
here it goes
Im larger than .56
but less than 100
im not a decimal
but im not a fraction
i am not 100
but im under 0
im not divisable by 2
but im not odd
im not in the 50s
but im not in the 60s
i am lower than 50
but im below 2
i am less than 10
but im not 7
i dont go into 10
but im both
i am not used in this riddle
what am i?
i think this one is harder than the origanal 2 someone who doesnt no the answer but i think it is more acurate. (it has the same answer as the origanal) (srry for the spelling)
Booyah ya all.

Yeah, this one ^^^^ is a lot better
...but you still need to somehow make it so it's "AND" and no other three-letter word...good luck with that!!
could be 3, 5 or 9
oh, nevermind, it couldnt be 5
if its not odd how can it be 3 or 9, and instead of im under 0 srry i mistyped it should be but im over 0 so that the number couldn't be negative. srry about that mistake.
the word and is the only word that means both that is 3 letters long. so only and would fit unless u can find another 3 lettered word that means both and isn't in the riddle.
That was dumb it could be 3 or 9.
as said before it is not odd. 3,5, 9 are all odd!!!!!
HAHA!!! I guessed "and," but when I read the hint, I was thrown off. I started to take the riddle seriously- yeah forgot it was a TRICK!!!!
I do agree it's a bit misleading to have actual numerical answers, but good teaser!
3 and 9 both work
Apart from and, you can say fun, got, say, tow, hut, day, tin, pin... You can say ect, too.
Too many possible answers (I got 3, and it could also be wheel if you're so inclined) but still funny
The answer could have been 3,5, or 9 but the question says that the answer does not divide 10 which removes 5 from the possible answers... hence being 3 or 9 since the answer can be any of the two, we have to look else where and that's how "and" becomes the answer.
