Question: `q002. I have in a room 8 people with dark hair brown, 2 people with bright red hair, and 9 people with light brown or blonde hair. Nobody has more than one hair color. Is it possible that there are exactly 17 people in the room?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Set of all people in room = {b,b,b,b,b,b,b,b,r,r,l,l,l,l,l,l,l,l,l} where ""b"" = dark brown hair, ""r"" = red hair and ""l"" = blonde hair. 8+2+9 = 19. Therefore, it is not possible that there are exactly 17 people in the room.

Question: `q003. I have in a room 6 people with dark hair and 10 people with blue eyes. There are only 14 people in the room. But 10 + 6 = 16, which is more than 14. How can this be?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Set of people in room = {dddddd,bbbbbbbbbb} where ""d"" = dark hair and ""b"" = blue eyes.

Yes, there can be only 14 people in the room if 2 of the people have both dark hair and blue eyes.
