Fun fact: the bible doesn’t give any number at all. Three is just another tradition that somehow emerged. (Just like Humpty Dumpty; the text doesn’t say he’s an egg.)
So maybe seven wise men, possibly somewhat on the short side?
Three guys with presents, plus two guys who both thought the other guy would get the present, plus one guy who is against giving presents on principle, plus one guy who tagged along because he thought the others were going to a party.
