If a third of 6 is 3. What would half of 20 be?
this is a very tricky question more of a puzzle, and it requires quite a bit of abstract thinking to get the right answer. If you get the right answer i'd apreciate it if you explain how you got it. though you don't have to.
and yes I know it's not proper grammer to use a preposition to end a sencence with.
i know the correct answer but i'd have to figure it out again to list it. or i could just look where i found it in the first place but... well it isnt LOST i know its around someplace...
i'll know the right answer and REASON if and when i see them.

15.
3 is one third of 9
½ of 20 = 10, so 10 = one third of 30.
So if 3 is one third of 6, 15 == half of twenty

Now, let's see. If a third of 6 is 3 - with the basis being that 3 is the third in the series as would 4 be a fourth of 6 then half of 20 would be 10. Though... if a third of 6 is 3 refers to the denominator then half of 20 would be 2.
I am really interested in the correct answer.

I'm guessing either the 2 or 0 if it is a tricky question... but heck I can't seem to get any of these dang things right! LOL
