My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

I think you are right, but it's a bad question, see the working below.
You used the same machine to produce bars withh 100% efficiency, but the cutting machine wastes some of whatever you put in it. We are never told whether this is a standard add on (like a border error), or a percentage of what you put in it, so given the info you really can't answer the question.
We're just told for every eleven bars you get out it wastes enough to make a whole other bar. If its going to cut that bar with the same efficiency then you need 1 1/11 of a bar to make 1 bar.
anyhoo

Its gonna die soon though. I feel people losing interest.

Well, there we are then.
Huge thread full of lots of random talk about guide dogs and belt sanders.

Just plus and minus signs.
The answer is 24. Try googling it. (I did work it out first).

Okay, if it's not 24 lets try a different tack.
For simplicities sake lets say that one bar of soap is made up of 1kg of soap.
To cut 250 bars of soap you need to start with 272 8/11 kgs of soap
22 8/11 kgs are remaining.
If this is somehow fed into the same cutting machine there will be more wastage. 1/11 kg per bar of soap
so (22 8/11)/(12/11) = 20 bars of soap
leaving 0.8333 recurring kg of soap plus 20 * 1/11 kg
2.65151 recurring kg remaining
putting that back into the machine
2.6515151/(12/11) = 2 more bars plus 0.430555 recurring kg soap plus 2/11 wastage
making 0.612373737 recurring kg of soap. Not enough for another bar
that makes 22 bars of soap in addition to the original 250

There are over 10....

So the answer isn't 24?
