The Secret Password
A man wants to enter a private club, but the main door is guarded by a doorman who only lets people in who know the right password. The man hides in the bushes near the door and listens.
One patron approaches the doorman, who says, "12."
The patron replies, "6," and the doorman lets him in.
Another patron approaches the doorman who says, "6."
The patron replies, "3," and the doorman lets him in.
Thinking he has the code figures out, the man approaches the doorman.
The doorman says, "8," and the man replies, "4."
"I'm sorry sir," the doorman says, "This is a private club and only members are allowed."
What did the man do wrong?

Obviously the guard saw him go and hide in the bushes and eavesdrop, so he wouldn't let him in even if he got the code right.
he can't reach the 25th floor button
everyone except the man was wearing a clownsuit. to get in he should have worn a clownsuit.
the answer 5. twelve has 6 letters in it. six has 3 letters in it. eight has 5 letters in it. its prety easy
typo! the answer is 5! sorry bout that!
Correct. Don't tell Sammy though. :)
True he could have got in, but he would have looked pretty out of place as the only one not in a clownsuit :S
The answer is the amount of letters in the number, eg. T-W-E-L-V-E has 6 letters, S-I-X has 3 letters and E-I-G-H-T has 5 letters, meaning his answer should have been 5
