Math quiz

[deputydawg]

A guy goes into a bar for a drink. This bar has a policy. The bartender tells the customer a number. If the customer answers back with the correct number of their own, then they get a free drink.<br /><br />The customer sees the first one come in. Bartender says 6, the customer answers 3. The bartender says it is the correct number and gives the man a free drink.<br />The next customer comes in, bartender says 12. The customer says 6 and gets a free drink.<br />Next customer comes in. The bartender says 16, what is the correct answer?<br /><br />The first one to figure it out, I will E-mail them a free drink of their choice.

Re: Math quiz

I was going to answer '8', but that would be too obvious.<br /><br />The answer is 12. I'll have a scotch with a dash of water, thanks.

Re: Math quiz

Yep, 7 is the answer.<br /><br />The string is long enough, but the correct answer is twice the distance from the middle to the end. This is also the same length as a chinaman.<br /><br />Finally, the answer I give to "What is you name?" is False.
