Forgotten Tales

A swamp club and 2 swamp shields will be given to the 3 first who solbe tgis riddle.Anyone is welxome to answer(if he can lol)...Deadline:3 days.I will not tell tge right answer till then!Every.player has one answer so. think well and speak wisely!!Thabks to lordi fir his awsome idea!!
The riddle:
An spy goes to the enemy fort.Be wants to enter.He kills an enemy soldier and he wears his clothes.Then he hides to hear the key-word.
The first soldier approaches:
-Twelve the guard says.
-Six he answers.
Guard leta him enter.
Second aoldier approaches:
-Six the guard says
-Three he answers.
They let him enter
The spy sure he knows the key-word approaches
-Ten the guard says.
-Five he answer .The guardian shots and kills him.Why he did it?

I think its because if the guard asks a number begining wiv s, he must reply wiv a number beginin wiv t, if he asks t, he must reply wiv s, so he should of said seven or something?

Haha unit i cannot answer u!I think u like this post dont u?

He did it because the spy gave the wrong answer.
The answer to "Ten" should have been "Three".

So i have it right lol?
Pm me if i hav please

What ever was the answer to this?

there are literally an infinite number of ways to answer this... since it has been so long, I'll give some examples:

simplest (in my opinion) is just telling the number of letters in the number (word) the guard says (twelve = 6, six = 3, ten = 3)

a more complex example (just one of a an infinite number) would be to give the digit which when put onto the end of the number the guard says (to form one number) would give a number which is a multiple of 9 -- for example:
12 , 6 = 126 which is a multiple of 9 (9*14=126)
6, 3 = 63 (9*7 = 63)
10 , 8 = 108 (9*12 = 108)

or another:
if guard gives a two digit number, you add the digits together and multiply by 2 (1+2=3 -- 3*2 =6) or if the guard gives a one digit number you simply divide it by 2 (6/2=3) GIVING answer 2 (1+0=1 -- 1*2 = 2)

again, the list is literally endless ... add your own? (bonus points if it does not just include numbers LOL)

(for example: 10 = 6 because... (keep with me here) the guards have a list of animals put together, one animal for each letter of the alphabet. the guard will give a number representing which letter the animal starts with, then the reply is the number of letters in the animal's name -- 12 = L ... L = LIZARD which has 6 letters, so 12=6 ... AND 6 = F ... F = FOX which has 3 letters AND 10 = J ... J = JAGUAR, which has 6 letters) ... sure it's overly complicated, but perfectly fine with the examples given LOL (yeah, I like riddles and puzzles )

Nice Craig

maybe he didnt recognise him.

I SHOT EM BECAUSE IM HAMMER
