>In Roman Numerals 12 is XII, if you cut that in half you will get VII which is 7.
Right. Lay it out with toothpicks, four for the X, and two each for the I's. If you remove the bottom half of each character, you're left with two toothpicks forming a V (5) and one toothpick each forming two I's again. VII = 7.
>Meaning, that in the "roman numerals" way of thinking, 7 x 2 = 12.
Nonsense.

Even more nonsense. Half of 12.4 is 6.2, which when rounded to the nearest whole number is 6.
This is just a simple visual trick. No math required.
