    I don’t even see why it’s complex.

    Hard to believe any adult can’t figure that out.

    Considering that it seems ruffly half of the population is retarded now, it doesn’t surprise me that many might struggle with this simple problem.

    I am 71, and I checked the link to make sure, but I got the correct answer instinctively and practically instantly. I fail to see what makes this complicated.

    It’s hard to count the people because they are wearing masks.

    Most adults? Click-bait nonsense. I half expected the answer to be “0” because “to begin with” meant before any passengers were loaded, but no it was just simple math.

    That is not math. That is arithmetic.

    I have another problem for you:
prosperous democracy + socialism + a couple of decades = ?
 
To: SouthernClaire
    The total number lost is two passengers. Add that number to those currently on the train to get original number of passengers.

    Either 61 or 65....just have to rethink whether it is two more or two less than original number.

19-17 = 2
2+X=Y That’s as far as I’ll go.

    Did it in my head in a few seconds but a lot of people struggle with word based math problems.

    How many people were on the train to begin with?I suggest the correct answer is 0, unless some people live on the train.
