I feel like two African nations should be easy for most. There's like 50+ and at least 5-10 are pretty damn easy ones.
But I've never heard that question about 5s and I feel like it's framed just to make someone (like me) look dumb lol. Is it just talking about 5 itself, or is it any number that contains the number 5? Because the question is a bit vague lol.
Yeah I hate pseudo-math riddles like that. The 1000 lbs of feathers vs bricks one is always used on kids and I feel the same way about that. The problem is not hard, its entirely the framing.
The closer you get to university level, the more you see faculty actively making questions as clear as possible so international students don't struggle.
