BosGuy brain teaser

brain teaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.

I’ll confirm answers later in the day so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance.

 

This weeks riddle:

You can sometimes add using subtraction
Though it may require some unique action.
There is this one word, six letters contain
Take away just one and twelve will remain.
