if there are 12 in front and 12 in back with 4 in middle you would have to count down from 12 to for then from 4 to 12 that would be a total of 140.
There are 3.
12. 12 people in the front line (which, in this case, is also the back line) The same people in the back line, and the four in the middle of the line.
the answer is easy. the units (because, in this case, it isn't specified whether or not they are people) are simply on the seventh dimension. we simply cannot wrap our minds around the fact that the answer is .1983

Wait, before I do anything, can i answer my own question?
12. But this isn't a practical question. There could be a range of 12 to 26 people based on the numbers. I agree with the people thing, but think about it... you know what he meant.
I think it's 32. Why?
They are talking about your teeth. There are 12 top teeth, 12 bottom teeth, plus 4 middles teeth up top and on the bottom. Therefore, you end up with 32, which is the number of teeth a person has.
Comment?
Either 12,412 or 5.
The teeth thing is brilliant, but did you come up with that automatically, or did it talk a while?

i agree with 140
What is the answer?
whether units or people the answer is 12.....
12 IN FRONT
IIII IIII IIII 4 IN THE MIDDLE
12 IN BACK
12 is in the front
4 is in the middle
12 is in the back
so its 12412
DonPinguino,
Only one got the answer right.
20-since there's 12 in the front and 12 in the back,
take two groups of 12's. Since there's 4 in the middle,
Mash the groups of 12 so that 4 in each group overlaps.
So total, since there's 4 overlapping and the 4 disappears in one of the groups so there's 12+12-4=12+8=20 total.
Other answers make sense, I mean, it's just not the answer I was looking for.
^O^
3 or 4

4 in the middle
I think 12412 because of 12 in front. 4 in the middle. and 12 in the back. Kewl kwestion.
i think this was an talking problem and not logical or mathematic.....it was just a problem made around one answer....is good..keeps somebody busy...
there are three "there are" but zero are there
