Wednesday non-political thread - Brainteaser

Recommended Posts

An undercover police officer needs to infiltrate an illegal gambling club, but does not know the password required for the entrance to the building. The day before he plants a microphone in the door knob and listens to the recorded conversation. He listens that a man strolls up and knocks on the door. The doorman says, "twelve" and the man replies, "six" and he is let in. A second man arrives and the doorman says "six" and the man replies, "three" and is let in. The police officer now is confident that he knows the password for the entry. So, he walks up to the door. The doorman says "ten" so he replies, "five". A gun appears through a slot in the door and the police officer is asked to leave. Why? What should he have said? 

Correct answer gets to ask the next brain teaser.

I caught this one as soon as I started writing it out on a piece of paper.

The key is, You wrote "twelve" and "six" and "six" and "three" instead of using 12 and 6 and 6 and 3.

The answer is 3.

"Ten" has 3 letters.

Here's my lame brain teaser:

An American Indian walks into a bar and says to the bartender: "Heap big black bug on floor"

Bartender says: "Squash it."

The Indian says, "No, heap big black bug."

Why is this humorous?

Sort of.  They both have different pronunciations when the first letter is capitalized.
