In response to the edit:
Parsing the question is not hard. The question seems nonsensical because it means almost nothing in daily life. But if you examine the structure, it becomes clear.
The question begins with "how many," which indicates a numerical answer. The question then asks for a number of letters in an answer. Understanding that the answer is a textual response, then the number of letters referred to must be the total number of letters in the response.
Since any numerical answer can be an answer, we then examine possible answers for correctness. Since there is an implied self-reference, we conclude that the only way for an answer to be correct is if the number of letters in the response is the same as the value of the response.
Hence, four... in English.
