To correct your spelling, it is 'dozen'. A 'dozen' mean '12' . From the mediaeval French for ;12 ( douze). So 6 dozen means 6 lots of 12; 6 x 12 = 72 The answer!!!!!
Basically, when someone says "Six of one, half dozen of another" they are saying that the two things they are comparing are the the same thing. They use this because: 1 Dozen = 12 1/2 dozen = 6 6 = 6 So, 1 half dozen and 6 are the same thing.
A dozen dozen is 12 times 12 = 144. So you could do (6+6) X (6+6) + 6 - 6 = 144
half a dozen is 6, so half a dozen dozen is 6 dozen, but the first thing, six dozen dozen has is 6x12x12or 6x144, so it is way more than 6x12.. In other words Six dozen dozen is 864 and half a dozen dozen is 72
A dozen is twelve, half a dozen is 6.
