ThreeGood morning Riddle Masters and Happy Wednesday!
How are we on this fine Wednesday? As always, we have another riddle for you today. It’s a very clever one so we’re very excited to see what answers you come up with… So here it goes:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the required password. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door, and the doorman said, “twelve.” The member replied, “six, “ and was let in. A second member came to the door, and the doorman said, “six.” The member replied, “three,” and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said, ”ten,” and the man replied, “five.” But he was not let in. What should have he said?
Oooh, interesting, eh? Have a good, long, hard think about this one, and be sure to think outside of the box! If you think you know the answer post it in the comments below!

Of course, do your best not to cheat, eh?
Good luck and happy riddle-ing!
There are six letters in the number twelve and three letters in the number six so he should have said three when told the number ten
Another oldie but definitely a goodie. It’s all to do with the number of letters in the doorman’s component 12 = 6 letters, six = 3 letters and so ten = 3 letters also not the response of 5.
