The Code *
"Four have only one", and "Three have two."
"What about eight" asked the student.
"It has three."
"and Eleven"
"Well! Eleven has eight"
What's going on here ?

I don't know the answer yet, I just wanted to be first to post.
the student is asking questions and the teahcer is answering :)
The numbers are divided into 4 groups..
group1: 1 2 3
group2: 4 5 6
group3: 7 8 9
group4: 10 11 12
2 is in group 1
4 is in group 2
9 is in group 3
11 is in group 4
That's the best I can come up with so far..
I have changed the question a bit to accommodate the international standard.
all are sums of five
4+1=5
2+3=5
8-3=5
the only one i dont know about is the eleven and eight
I Got it I Got it I Got it
Its the dashes in The Morse Code.
I think the title "The Code" was the hint
I think it must have something to do with the alphabet, 4+3+8+11 = 26...
there are 26 letters in the alphabet... thats all i have right now
oogah
i just had to say that
No, it really is the number of dashes in morse code.
2 is ..---
4 is ....-
8 is ---..
it number to equal 5
4 + 1 = 5
3 + 2 = 5
8 - 3 = 5
and eleven has two 1s
1 + 4
1 + 4
so 4 + 4 = 8
Why does four HAVE and three HAVE but eight HAS and eleven HAS??
idget the tenses.. =/
