Since the twelfth piece does not require sawing , hence it will take 11 minutes.

Yes because when you cut anything once it gives you 2 pieces. So when you will cut the tree trunk 11 times , you will get 12 pieces. Hope it is clear now!

By the way , it's not a kindergarten question because you need to apply logic here. And if it would be a kindergarten question everyone would get it right but till now it's 78% got correct.
