# While I have six eyes, I don't need an optician

I thought I might try writing a riddle. Maybe this is too simple for some of the adept riddle solvers, but oh well. Here it is:

While I have six eyes, I don't need an optician.
There's just one factor to my primary condition.
Emerge from the inn, then head off to the right.
End with tea, where you can trust your eyesight.


What am I?

You are:

Indivisibility

While I have six eyes, I don't need an optician.

Indivisibility contains 6 of the letter i, but doesn't have anything to do with optometry

There's just one factor to my primary condition.

Something with 1 factor is indivisible by anything else

Emerge from the inn, then head off to the right.

The word indivisibility starts with in (sounds like "inn"), with "head off" to the right - this could either mean div in the sense of separating from the inn, or in the sense of <div/> having similarity to <head/> as a valid HTML tag

End with tea, where you can trust your eyesight.

The word indivisibility ends with visibility, which itself ends with ty (sounds like "tea").

• I’ll tick this one because the explanation is slightly closer to what I was thinking. Well done (: I’m fairly happy with how it turned out. – Rebecca J. Stones Nov 22 '19 at 14:33
• @RebeccaJ.Stones Can you explain the "Emerge from the inn, then head off to the right" clue? – justhalf Nov 23 '19 at 6:27
• It's not that exciting, I just meant rot13("va" = "vaa" vf ba gur yrsg bs gur jbeq, lbh urnq gb gur evtug naq lbh ernq "gl" = "grn" juvpu vf vafvqr "ivfvovyvgl"). I mostly just wanted the strings to line up. (: – Rebecca J. Stones Nov 23 '19 at 7:44

You are:

INDIVISIBILITY

While I have six eyes, I don't need an optician.

6 I's

There's just one factor to my primary condition.

Prime numbers are indivisible. (one factor, other than one)

Emerge from the inn, then head off to the right. End with tea, where you can trust your eyesight.

Wordplay here -- IN + ??? + TY (tea) Not sure if the DIVISIBILI is clued. But, since it's not a cryptic, full cluing ins't required.
