Do the maths to call my name












6












$begingroup$



My first one is my length.



My second one is a bit closer to my third one than to my first one.



My third one is my first and second together.



My last one is four times my first one.



Once you know all of us, you can call my name.




What is the answer?

          Your name is




          DimP!!




          My first one is my length.




          There are four numbers, so length is 4.




          My second one is a bit closer to my third one than to my first one.




          9 is closer to 13 than 4.




          My third one is my first and second together.




          4 plus 9 is 13.




          My last one is four times my first one.




          4 times 4 is 16.




          Once you know all of us, you can call my name.




          4-9-13-16 yields alphanumeric DimP!

            Damn, that was fast! I'll make it more complicated next time, I think I should have left out maybe the hint about the length? Is that what gave it away so easily?

            The length gave the first part away, the last clue gave the fourth part away, and after that I had a pretty obvious blank in the middle which was conveniently filled. Great puzzle though, very creative!
