Compound four - digit number? Quite the opposite. M?T?E? The answer apparently is MITTEN Can anyone explain why?

Lack, on the one hand seen at last N?E?

Need

[bibblebub]

because with a mitten http://www.knitcellan...itten__46937_zoom.jpg four fingers are grouped together in one section (with the thumb in the other) but it keeps those fingers warm, the opposite to them getting numb

Thanks bibblebub. But what has compound got to do with it? and can you tell me why the other answer is NEED?

[bibblebub]

compound as in combined to make a single part for all 4 fingers rather than having separate sections for each

[bibblebub]

NEED comprises the last letters of oN thE onE hanD

you're welcome (and you wouldn't believe how long it took me to remember how to get 'need')
