12

If you were using base 4 then a single digit number could have 4 possible values:

0,1,2 & 3. To represent the next number (4) we would have to introduce a second digit to the left of the first (i.e. a 1) and reset the first digit back to 0 again (i.e. 10). Then 5 would be 11 and 6 would be 12.

Another way to look at it is that in base 4 the number 12 means:

(2 * 40) + (1 * 41) = 2 + 4 = 6.
