Unless this is a joke, having a base 12 counting system will give you this result.

If it's base twelve, then 12 would equal fourteen in base 10.

roman numerals can be very useful in situtations(they are used in superbowlsand other places

I=1
V=5
X=10
L=50
C=100
D=500
M=1000

In base 12

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
7 + 7 = 14

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
7+7 = 12
2 times the 6th number = the 12th number

7+7=12 in base 12.

12 in base12 = 1 X 12^1 + 2 X 12^0 (base 10)
= 1 X 12 + 2 X 1 (base 10)
= 12 + 2 (base 10)
12 (base 12) = 14 (base 10)

NOTE: 12^1 = 12
12^0 = 1 (any number raised to the zero power equals 1)
