{{/usCountry}}An individual wrote, "17 = 5 of the kids are girls that wore blue shirts, so logically, there must be 3 who aren't girls, so add that to the original number of 14 girls. 14 + 3"
A second said, "14 are girls 8 wear blue shirts and 2 additional are neither that make 16?"
"16 x14 girls + 2 that aren’t girls = 14. Doesn't matter what they're wearing," posted a third.
A few others also said "19" and "17" as the correct answers.
Earlier, another brain teaser went viral on social media. The question reads, "I am a word that begins with the letter I. If you add the letter A to me, I become a new word with a different meaning, but that sounds exactly the same. What word am I?"
