Now how much twigs are in front of him?

1) it could be the simple answer....11 twigs...???

or

2) it could be roman numeral XII - in which case there are either 3 or 7 twigs.....???

1. 11 twigs

2. Something nobody knows

3. Could be like EDM said, XII so take away 1 and it makes 3

But my strongest guess is a tree. 12 twigs of a tree?? Where could you have gotten the twigs from????

None of you were right with the answer, yet some of you were right with the number of twigs.

roman numerals could work, but the answer is actually a word.

XI is actually a word (Greek letter), at least in the Scrabble dictionary. LOL! I know, I'm not helping things! :wacko:

but it could be "Adam" from the Story of Adam and Eve... If you accept that "the person" is "God" and and the 12 twigs are actually Adam's ribs, and one is removed to create Eve.

It all depends on what he'd do with the twig. He cd take away one twig & hold it (in which case he'd still hv 12 twigs in front of him) or throw it away or hand it to someone(in which case he'd have 11 twigs in front of him) or walk away with the twig (in which case he'd have one twig in front of him)
