| 111534 | 2003-01-06 21:13:00 | Is this a little like proving you have 11 fingers? Count the first hand 1,2,3,4,5 Then the second hand 10,9,8,7,6 Take the highest number from first hand, lowest number from 2nd hand: 5+6=11 |

| 111537 | 2003-01-06 21:35:00 | Well Clueless' answer (3rd post) may not be the answer you are looking for but it is extremely accurate! 12 (base 12) converts to 14 (base 10) 7 (base 12) converts to 7 (base10) Therefore in base 12: 7 IS half of 12 (Just as Halloween equals Christmas - Oct 31 = Dec 25) :D |

| 111538 | 2003-01-06 22:33:00 | Heres another 1 how can 1=2 (btw 1 & 2 could be any # the crazy formula still works ie it would be the same to make 12=186) | mcatley (662) | ||
| 111539 | 2003-01-06 22:56:00 | 1 is not equal to 2 even for large values of 1 :-) | robsonde (120) | ||
| 111540 | 2003-01-06 23:09:00 | I thought Clueless was right. But if you use swedish rounding like in 3Guys and other supermarkets then 12 becomes 10 and half of 10 is 5 which shows what a rip-off it is. robo. |

| 111541 | 2003-01-06 23:57:00 | Its easy 12 = XII in roman numerals. Cut the bottom half off XII and you have VII VII = 7 QED |
