BosGuy brain teaser

Finally, I figured out one of my weekly riddles!  Perhaps you will as well! As usual, I will validate guesses Friday afternoon. Enjoy this week’s brain “teasah“.

A man wanted to get into a members only club but he wasn’t a member so he hid and watched as the bouncer said a number to each member as they approached. If the member responded with the correct number they were let in, but if they responded incorrectly they were turned away.

The guard said 12 to the first guy to approach; the man responded by saying 6 and was let in. The next member who came to the door, the guard said 6 and the member responded 3 and was let in. Believing he had heard enough, he walked up to the guard. The guard said 10 and he responded 5 but was turned away.

Why wasn’t the gentleman let in?  What is the correct response? If you think about it, I’m confident you’ll figure it out!

One response to “BosGuy brain teaser

  1. He should have said 3, the number of letters in the word that the bouncer says. Ten has 3 letters.
