3 wise men or 4 ?

            Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar.

Gold, frankincense and myrrh -  no coffee in a paper cup!

Matthew, in his gospel, tells us they were wise men, not kings. The best modern equivalent would be to call them "professors." They probably were learned men who sought to interpret the stars to guide the government (just like today). The traditional number of wise men is three, although Matthew doesn't tell us how many there actually were.
