24 is your answer.
If this is meant to be 60 then it's 6. But that's ONLY if it got lost in translation while typing.

5 (7-5)
12x5=60
Then again my ability to teach math is right up there with me teaching child birth to wild bull elephants.. lol
Dammit..I just peaked at the original post..It was 7-5=2... 24 it is.. *numbers..people who like them should be culled from the general public..not that I think any of you should be shot at sunrise or anything like that. A slow painful poisoning would do just fine..
