The Code And The Club

[Snowy]

The doorman at an exclusive club says one word to each prospective entrant. If the entrant answers correctly he/she is allowed to enter; otherwise he/she is rejected.

A hopeful non-member observed carefully as a member approached. The doorman said, "Twelve." The member replied, "Six." He was admitted. A second member came up. The doorman said, "Six." The member replied, "Three." He was admitted. The man now decided that this was easy and he stepped forward. The doorman said, "Ten." The man replied, "Five." The doorman angrily kicked him out.

What should have been his reply and why?
