Riddle: Tim wanted to enter a private party. The problem was, there was a guard guarding the door, and you have to tell a code to enter. Tim does not know the code. So, he waited and spied on the people who wants to enter. He saw someone approach the guard. The guard said "six" and the person replied "three." He may enter because he got the code correctly. Another person wanted to enter. The guard said "twelve" and the person replied "six." He also may enter because he got the code correctly. Tim thinks he has enough information. He gave it a try. The guard said "ten" and Tim replied "five." But, he may not enter because he got the code incorrectly. Why?
Answer: The code is the amount of letters are there in the numbers. Example: if the guard said "fourteen" people might think its seven. But, the answer is eight because there are 8 letters in fourteen.
