Are you sure that the question actually says 'number'? The riddle of "what gets bigger the more you take away?" is an old one, with the answer being 'a hole'.

Buenchico - That's the answer I though initially, but am assured it is a number - it's a radio quiz.

Apparently the answer is SIX. Because if you take away the 'S', then this leaves 'IX', which in Roman numerals is NINE. Groan!
...and if you take away the SI you are left with X which is ten.
there was an old question about what word still has the same meaning when you take away two letters... and still has it when you take away two more

...and another old one is what word, which is singular, becomes plural when you remove a letter and singular again when you remove a second letter?
