But .. 1/2 of the remainder- this should be applied to all that were called from the 60 who did not give an answer on other grounds then. It's the only other logic when reading the wording of the question. Either that or each event is related to the group he asked which is 5.And he didn't have to ask the group 3 times, to get 3 sets of results from one group. The wording definately seems to go infavour of him only having asked one group, and we are calculating for that group, given 3 types of answers from the different members. That group being either 5, or being 60 with 4 answers and 56, where 2 of every 5 now left say no and the remaining has half do not give a loan. This still doesnt provide us with the answers of the 1/2 that have not denied to loan money as that doesn't mean they said yes. That could have said maybe.

Looking at your answer this would be true, or something like it..


60/3 = 20 who deny of the top. FRom the 40 left, 2 in 5 say no = (40/5)*2 = 16 who say no. total so far 36 who say no, and 1 in 2 left who say no is remaining 24/2 = 12 who say maybe yes maybe no, yes or no..
According to this our best guess on what we now have its a guesstimate at 50% to say yes, either directly or maybe yes given what we know. But it's only a guestimate.. and it is also in fact 12 who say no and 12 who say yes. so the answer in my opinion is:yes is equal to between 0 and 12

^i can see how wording is able to read like this. But this answer above would seem right according to the wording order and what you've said's happening as he places calls..
