7. MEMBERS ONLY...... A man wants to gain access to an exclusive club, but can't as he is not a member. Members can only gain access by giving the door-man the correct password. He decides to hide near the entrance to the club and listen to what the members say to the door-man. The first member arrives and the door-man says "TWELVE" to him. The first member replies "SIX". The member is allowed in. The second member arrives and the door-man says "SIX" to him. The second member replies "THREE". The member is allowed in. The man decides he has heard enough and approaches the door-man. "TEN" the door-man says to him. Feeling proud of himself for his cunning plan, the man replies "FIVE". The door-man angrily turns the man away. Why? Submitted by ANTFROG2000 · Added 15 August 2008 Show Solution Solution: The door-man is not looking for a numerical response based on the numbers given, but rather the number of letters in the word that corresponds to the number. For example, 'TWELVE' has six letters, and 'SIX' has three letters. Therefore, when the door-man says 'TEN', the correct response should be 'THREE', as 'TEN' has three letters.

The password is however many letters are in the word that the doorman says. He should have said three.
The man had anger issues, thus he needed to go to a therapist after that
