  6. An exclusive new club makes you answer a riddle to enter. Tim wants to get inside, so he watches the people in front of him in line, as the security guard asks the riddle. To the first guy in line, the guard says, "Six."  The man answers, "Three," and he is allowed to enter.  To the next person, the guard says, "Twelve."  The woman answers, "Six," and is allowed to enter. So Tim thinks he has it figured out, and walks to the door. The guard says, "Four."  Tim says, "Two," but he finds that denial is not just a river in Egypt.  What should Tim have said?
