Willco has a meeting. There are 12 board members but when they arrive at the boardroom, there are only 11 chairs at the table. The meeting organizer has a solution. He seats the 1st board member in the first chair. He then seats the 2nd board on the 1st one's lap. He then proceeds to seat the 3rd member in the second seat, the 4th in the third seat, the 5th in the fourth seat and so on. After he seats the last one, the 2nd board member gets up off the lap of the 1st and takes the final seat. All 12 are now seated.How is this possible?
--no one brought in another chair

Finally, the answer!! The board member who temporarily sits on the 1st board member's lap is board member #2. By the time the 12th board member is seated, the meeting organizer has forgotten(as did you) the member's number and counts him as number 12. The actual 12th board member does not get to the table at all. Member #2 simply gets up and moves around to sit in the 12th chair!! Points go to the closest!! What's with the turtle?

Should read by the time the 11th member was seated..

The 11th board member would be in the 10th seat.
(That actually wouldn't work,though,because theoretically the 2nd guy would be in the 1st seat and the 1st guy would be in the 12th seat.)

Because the 1st member left because he got his lap dance and had no other reason to stay for the meeting and the 2nd took his chair....
Or there is a chair in the room that is not at the table like against the wall or in the corner.

After the last board member was seated. The 2nd board member who was seated on the first board member lap, got up and sat on the lap of the last board member seated, thereby taking the final seat.

The second board member sits in the lap of the person sitting in the 11th chair.

The 12th chair wasn't at the table.
