    It is all context. 7 barrels of rum is bigger than 12 glasses! On second thought, just give Captain Jack rum and worry not about anything else.

    12 is bigger. It takes up 2 spaces. 7 only takes 1 space. I urge you to drink Summit Extra Pale Ale and Jim Beam. It will help you with these math problems.

    My spam email folder says 12 is bigger than 7, and enlargement is available at a low price.

    One plus two makes three, so seven is bigger!

    I'm glad the question is not which is greater, Magnificent Seven or Dirty Dozen.
    I would be unable to answer.

    12 is bigger because 7 is smaller and fits into 12.

    I think they are equal. If I quint really really hard that 12 looks like a 7.

    If this is a trap, I guess I shouldn't stand near the bigger X on the ground.

    Isn't it the same size? 0000 0111 and 0000 1100, both need at least byte.

    i'm going to go with 7 in this case to over think it. So to the untrained and only lightly educated mind a 7 would look bigger since 1 and 2 do only equal 3 and 3 is smaller than 7. So in this game we are all the lightly educated and untrained most of the time in what we see in the game and don't see. Ok perhaps not lol and true we were told no math.:(

    With the prevalence of Christian mythology in the western world, I would say 7 is bigger with the game's target audience.

    A Portalarium Game Developer posts a forum thread poll with a confusing yet humorous mathematical question. Dost thou:
    A) Show compassion for this poor, burnt-out developer, and try to help solve his riddle, or​
    B) Justly point out this man's suffering to thy Lord British, so that he may seek the help and rest he requires?​
