If Mr Tan shakes hand with all the guests one time, then he will shake 3 times as many men as women.
If Mrs Tan shakes hand with all the guests once, then she will shake 4 times as many men than women.
How many men and women?

Answer depends on your logic! Step by step...




1) Are Mr Tan and Mrs Tan the hosts?
YES: NO ANSWER.
NO: Go to (2)

2) Are Mr Tan and Mrs Tan related?
YES: NO ANSWER.
NO: 16 men, 5 women.






Of course, if you got "no answer", then either we are logical, or think too much... but that's another topic for another day.

I have people who actually got the right answer, because he actually thought of them NOT being related. o_O*

... I can't be a primary 5 school teacher.
