you know I recently interviewed at a place I was even sort of interested in and they turned me down because they said they thought I wasn't really interested, and I didn't even ask them anything like this question. Imagine if I had!

It's 10. You are essentially looking to the solution for:
x = 5 + (x/2)
10 = 5 + (10/2)
