The boy thought the code was to find the half of the number from the question, but that is not correct. The code, in fact, is the number of letters of the name of the number of the question:
6 - 'Six' - three letters
12 - 'Twelve' - six letters
Therefore, the answer is 3, since '10' has three words in its name.
The answer to one question is the number of the previous question, so because Man 2 was asked question 12, 12 is what the boy must answer to his question, regardless of what his question is.
The answer is 3. The secret code is the number of characters of the question. 6 (six) = 3 characters, 12 (Twelve) = 6 characters. Hence secret code for 10 (Ten) should be 3.
What the hell is wrong with my answer? It works too, dammit!

i'll tell you why your answer is wrong....... according to you any member of the club should know what number was asked to the previous person so that they can get inside... now how is one supposed to know what was asked to the previous person...?
so the answer is related only to the question asked and nothing else....
well... again DraeKlae and Rajeshn1976 got the right answer.... should i split the points between you guys...?

They are standing behind the previous person in line and listening from the outside like the boy was.

suppose they are not standing behind each other....? what if each member enters with some delay....? then your logic will not hold good.........
We need a question that actually uses math to solve, not some damn number-letter code thing.
Once there was a club of mathmaticians who used secret codes to identify their members and let them into the club.. the procedure was this...
Any one who wanted to enter into the club had to tap the door , then the door keeper inside the club would tell them a NUMBER and the person outside the club had to answer a NUMBER. If the answer was correct the keeper would open the door.
A boy was very desperate to get in to the club so he planned to watch the people entering the club standing out side it. As he was standing ,two men got into the club . . the conversation was this.....
Man1 taps the door..
Question: 6 Answer : 3 he was let inside...
Man2 taps the door..
Question: 12 Answer : 6 he was also let inside...
the boy thought he has figured it out and taps the door....
Question: 10 Answer : 5 THE BOY WAS NOT ALLOWED INSIDE....!
WHERE DID THE BOY GO WRONG ...? can you break the code and help the poor little boy...?
PS: 10 points to the one who solves this first..
