5
Its the number of letters in the number given to the sentry.
Ian
Yes the answer is 5.
The number 8 ( Eight ) has 5 letters.
The countersign is always the number of letters of the number that the guard gives. (“six” has 3 letters and “twelve” has 6 letters. After the two soldiers passed, the first spy thought the answer was the half of the number that the guard gave (you also might have thought), so he answered 5 when the guard said 10, which was wrong as ten has 3 letters)
