Can anyone demonstrate how one can divide twelve exactly in half and end up with seven as a result?

@kimcheeboi

That isn't the answer I have in mind.

I'll give you a clue, a Roman could do it.

Someone must be able to get this, it really is very simple; the answer is in the question.

One ex-member has already got it, if switch can do it someone else surely can.

Cutting it in half horizontally and using the top half, gives you VII, (the II without the bottom half though).

There's also various matchstick puzzles like this as well.

@maddav and Krubach

Well done chaps!

You can both share first prize, which is an all expenses paid trip to absolutely nowhere with no spending money and no companions.
