yikes
lets try this one "-2 and 18"
half of 18 is 9, and $9-11=-2$ so i guess we got it on the first try

anonymous · Answer

is there more than one?

anonymous · Answer

yeah i think the last one might work

anonymous · Answer

half of 4 is 2, and $2-11=-9$ 
maybe there is another as well

anonymous · Answer

half of 6 is 3, and $3-11=-8$ so 6,-6 doesn't work

anonymous · Answer

and half of three isn't even an integer so that one is not going to work either
