Riddle
There are 12 kids in a classroom. 6 kids are wearing socks and 4 are wearing shoes. 3 kids are wearing both. How many are bare feet?
Choose an answer
A.3 kids
B.7 kids
C.2 kids
D.5 kids are bare feet.
Hint: It's a 4-word phrase with 15 letters, starting with "5".
Answer
5 kids are bare feet.
Why this is the answer
Adding the sock-wearers and shoe-wearers together and subtracting those double-counted for wearing both (6 + 4 - 3 = 7) leaves 12 - 7 = 5 kids with bare feet.
