OK, here's one I've read recently:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
What should have he said?
A bag of organic apples from my dad's back garden for the first correct answer posted, and the reason why this is correct.

I think the correct answer should be "three" because it's the number of characters in the word the doorman said. I can' t think of any other logical explanation.

Two but only in a logic which I have when I am tired that it is to do with some mathematical equation that I have forgotten now that I have come to write it

And the bag of apples goes to Derek (with a bonus apple for posting a photo that makes him look like a member of our political wing ;D )
