Correct, all we can deduce is the bounds:
Let x be the number of spears hoped for.
6000 < x/2 < 6002
12000 < x < 12004
Edit: fixed error
Less than half and more than half imply strict inequality, so 6000 < x/2 < 6002, so 12001 <= x <= 12003
You're absolutely correct, it should be "<". Since he wished for such an odd number, I wouldn't constrain x to integers though. Maybe he wished for "more than twelve thousand spears"?
