The doorman at an exclusive club says one word to each pro-
spective entrant. If the entrant answers correctly he is allowed to
enter; otherwise, he is rejected.
A hopeful non-member observed carefully as a member ap-
proached. The doorman said, “Twelve.” The member replied,
“Six.” He was admitted.
A second member came up. The doorman said, “Six.” The mem-
ber replied, “Three.” He was admitted.
The man now decided that this was easy and he stepped forward.
The doorman said, “Ten.” The man replied, “Five.” The door-
man angrily kicked him out. What should he have said?

He should have said three.
Since he doesn't let people in who respond with his number divided by 2. The only other logical way to respond to his number would be, to count the letters in the stated number.
6 letters in twelve
3 letters in six
3 letters in ten.
