This week’s brain teaser: 

This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.

This week’s brain teaser:  Two spies want to infiltrate an enemy military base but to enter they must give the correct countersign at the gate so they wait nearby undercover to overhear the countersign from other soldiers as they pass.

One soldier comes and is given the sign “6”; the soldier answers “3” and is allowed to pass.  Soon a second soldier approaches and is given the sign “12”; he responds “6” and is allowed to pass. Thinking he had cracked the code the first spy goes to the gate but when he is given the sign “10” and says “5” he is shot dead. The second spy, who witnessed everything is able to figure out the code so when he approaches and is given the sign “8” he confidently answers correctly.

What was the answer that the spy gave and why?
