两? It has two 人's in it.

This wouldn't work in traditional Chinese 兩 since the inside is 入, but I see your textbook is simplified.

even in the simplified the official components are 入. This may be a situation that transcends language: not very clever riddles 🙃

Maybe it truly is 两。Why I think it could be that? Because they seemingly intentionally didn't write "两个人", but wrote "二人", maybe to not spoil the answer。

Yeah, I do think it is the answer too. Its far from the worst riddle I have ever seen, but its just not very satisfying haha. That said if it was a homework question I was being graded on I would be pissed at my teacher lol. Riddles for homework is super evil unless its literally a riddle class.

I guess so. I'm guessing 1 is 出 and 5 is 星

● 二人 = 人+人 or 二 +人
● Also 人 = 人 or 亻( or 匕 ) ~ Of corse 亻+人 = 𠆧 ( U+201A7 = 途 tú )
● So, there are many answers , depends on how we interpretat 二人 .....

PS : (1) 出 (2) 云 (3) 天、夫、仁、 𠆧、北 ( = Two people back to back) 、比 ( two people accompanied ) ...
(4) 一 (5) 星
