    Call the number 'M' (for Mystery number).

    You said that two thirds of M is greater than 12.

    It starts to look like math when we write

    2/3 M > 12

    Multiply each side by 3 : 2 M > 36

    Divide each side by 2 : M > 18.

    As long as the number is anything bigger than 18,

    two-thirds of it will be bigger than 12.
