Two spies want to get in an enemy's military base.In order to get in they have to give the correct countersign to the guard at the gate after he gives them the sign. So they wait hidden nearby the gate so that they will overhear the countersign from another soldier.

One soldier comes and the guard gives the sign: "6".The soldier answers "3".The guard lets him pass. Another soldier comes.The guard says "12" and the soldier gives the answer "6".The guard lets him pass. So, the first spy goes at the gate and the guard asks says "10".The spy, sure that he knew the answer as he was, says "5". Immediately, the guard shoots him dead.

Then the other spy, who saw that the other spy was killed when he gave the countersign, had now understood what the right answer would be, whatever the guard's sign was.So, he walks to the gate and the guard says "8".The spy gives the correct answer and the guard lets him in. What was the answer that the spy gave?

Unusaual paragraph:
This is unusal paragrph .t'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it ?it looks so plain that you would think nothing is wrong with it!In fact,nothing is wrong with it!It is unusaul though.Study it and think about it.but you still may not find anything odd.But if you work at it a bit,you might find it out!Try to do so without any coaching or googling.

he couldn't have wiped all the frost ,so there would be some frost on the window, also if it reached the limit where there is frost on the window that means it is too cold outside to be " walking casually and then think to pop for a visit" being outside must be for something urgent.
is this right?
Nice try....But this is not the correct answer...The correct answer is that frost doesn't form on the outer side of a window...So the officer immediately understood that he was lying....Keep posting and solving..
