A maths question aimed at seven-year-olds has left many adults confused - but can you work out the correct answer?

The practice exam question for Year 2 pupils was shared on Twitter by Louise Bloxham amid the ongoing debate about the benefits of primary school tests.

It received dozens of replies from users debating the answer after she wrote: “If you think the answer is 65, you would be wrong.”

Ms Bloxham explained the question was posted on a ‘Parents against Primary Testing’ Facebook group where a member insisted the answer, according to the mark scheme, was 46.

However, no evidence has been provided to back up this claim.

It led to many users complaining about the question being too difficult for Year 2 pupils and others suggesting it was “too ambiguous” ...

I think the one who set the question mixed up the answer or left out a sentence in the question.

19 - 17 = 2
2 + 63 = 65

I don't think the answer is 65, I know it is 65. Because I checked my calculations with a calculator, and my sums matched the calculator's.

Cheers!

The answer is 46 because the 19 who got booted out at the first stop are Opps. The remaining are PAP members

The exams paper asked how many pap-le to begin with. It is a question set by the PAP CEC.

The question is misleading only because of the use of semantics. The 17 who got on subsequently are not counted as part of the group who were on initially. This is an ambiguous question simply because of the use of language and nothing to do with math.

[ Now to politicize this thread ]
This is the bullshit that happens with foreigners take over the educational functions of our society. Fuck the PAP!
[ End of politicization. ]

Wrong, there are 46 because 19 of the people in the train identify themselves as dogs and not people.
