I been trying to figure this out forever!! Math problem?

A student got 50% of questions on an geometry test correct. If he answered 10 out of the 12 questions correctly but missed 3/4 of the remaining questions, how many questions were on the test?

The question makes no sense to me.

If the student got 50% of questions correct, that means the other 50% were either incorrect or unanswered.

’10 questions out of the 12′ must mean 10 of the 12 he answered, implying there were 24.

If that is the case, he could not have missed 3/4 of the remaining questions.
