1. Pictorial Method
Write the number 12 on a square piece of paper, like so
[12]
Fold along the diagonal from the bottom-left to the top-right corner.
This is halving the 12, into two triangles.
Presto! You will find an inverted number 7 on one side of the triangular half. Just turn it the right way up. Done!
2. Roman Numeral Method
The Roman Numeral for 12 is XII
Cut a horizontal line across the middle of XII
You will get VII, which is the Roman Numeral for 7.
3. Calculation Method
Start with,
-1/1 = -1/1
Rearrange signs,
(-1/1) = (1/-1)
sqr(-1/1) = sqr(1/-1)
sqr(-1)/sqr(1) = sqr(1)/sqr(-1)
cross multiply,
sqr(-1) * sqr(-1) = sqr(1) * sqr(1)
sqr(-1)^2 = sqr(1)^2
-1 = 1
Add 13 to both sides,
13 - 1 = 13 + 1
12 = 14
12 = 2 x 7
7 = 12 / 2
Therefore 7 is half of 12

Yes,
In base 12, the number 12 has the decimal value of 14 (1-12 and 2 - 1's)
Therefore, in base 12, 7 is one half of 12.

7 x 0 = 1/2( 12 x 0)
Therefore 7 = 1/2 (12)

Yes. 7 is One digit & 12 are Two digit. So 7 is half of 12.

Sure. 12 x (1/2) = 6
7 - 6 = 1
1 + 1 = 2 points for me. hahaha

Nope. As a n undergrad of Engineering I love maths. and I don't like to see people making fun of it to this extent. Just joking, i can't do it. but i'm pretty sure the method you are using has a flaw somewhere.
I have met some people proving 1 = 2, but it invloved a division by 0 in the way.

to do this you have to state that you are assuming 0 is considered as the first number. write the numbers in a row and the 7th position out of 13 numbers would be the half of 12.

yes, 7 is the soulmate of 12. When you killed 7, it's like killing the other half of 12.

In Roman Numerals 12 = XII
Slice (horizontally) across the middle of XII and you end up with VII
Which = 7
=)
