Yes. It comes after the third and before the fifth.

All of them. Some have more, though.

They don't. If they survive, they don't need to be buried.
Next!

A fishing boat is lying in the harbour. There is a rope ladder hanging over the side with its end touching the water. The rungs of the ladder are 1 metre apart and the tide is rising at 50 centimetres an hour.
At the end of 6 hours, how many of the rungs will be covered?
If you had only one match, and entered a dark room containing an oil lamp, some newspaper, and some kindling wood, which would you light first?
What is the eleven letter word that all Yale graduates spell incorrectly? |

None, because the boat floats.

The match.

This one works best when spoken, because then they don't notice that "incorrectly" has eleven letters.

Unless there's some trick definition of "dozen" involved, 12, 12, 6.
I'm betting that the trick here lies with hoping that the person does not notice that the last one is a half dozen.

The traditionally-known "stamps" thing doesn't have the third part. I just threw it in. 
EDIT: And you're correct btw.
