Can it actually be 13 leftovers?
Supposed the 30 people are numbered 1-30.
Can we have the following configuration:
S: No. 1-12 (12 people)
R: No. 1-8 (8 people)
(The 8 people numbered 1-8 are both in S and R)
M: No. 13-17 (5 people)
Altogether, only 17 people out of 30 belong to one of the three committees .. there are 13 people not belonging to any of the three.
Should the last choice be 13 instead of 12?
