I was bored, so i decided to put a riddle here... I´ve learned it in school, one of my teachers did it.. Anyway here it goes:
The mafia was making a reunion in a pub and there was a spy trying to enter and obtain some information.. But there was a guard in the door who asked the password... So the spy tried to know the password 1st.. The password was a number.. The guard said a number then the person who wanted to enter said other number.. If the number was correct the person was able to enter, if not, the guard was able to kill you..
One guy came to the pub, the guard said "6"... The guy said ¨3¨ and he passed..
Another guy came... The guard said ¨12¨.. The guy said ¨6¨ and he passed..
Knowing this, the spy went to the door.. The guard said ¨2¨ The spy said ¨1¨... The guard said ¨wrong answer".. and he killed the spy..
The question is... Which number was correct and why?

Hmmm, I'd have to say the correct number was '6'. The reason I say this is because the number 3 is divisable by 6 and the number 12 is a multiple of 6. 2 is also a divisor of 6, because 6 divided by 2 is 3.

Hmm... the spy was wrong because he was a SPYYY! the guard must've obviously knew this, so he shot him.

The guard didn´t know he was a spy... The spy just failed in the password so he died, as all person that fails..

I'm gonna throw this in. The answer is (maybe) 25 because when added, they're multiples of 9.
6+3=9 12+6=18 2+25=27
(I'm still gonna do other attempts if it's wrong)

The answer the spy should have said was 3. It took me a while (especially since I've heard this riddle a long time ago but forgot the answer ) but then looking at the bloody numbers again, I remembered it. The guard would say a number and the password would be the number of letters in the word. S-I-X = 3 letters T-W-E-L-V-E = 6 letters T-W-O = 3 letters I think I'm right. If not, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bummer. Do another one!

Netaro is right.. The answer was 3.. So yeah, genius.. You are the second one who solved it.. The first was Claw, but i told him: ¨Don´t post the answer, i wanna know who else can get it¨ (He solved it in the day i posted it).. Congratulations!! Maybe i´ll post another later.. But now, i got things to do.. Seeya!
