This post consists of 3 separate pieces, and this piece " . . . 3 females and 4 males." IS NOT RELEVANT to the question.

Thus the meaning of the problem is dark, and therefore, it is NOT a Math problem, at all.

If the meaning of a problem or its parts is dark, it is not a Math problem.

It is a FAKE, instead.

Formulation of a Math problem is a subject subordinated to strict rules.

It is not bla-bla-bla, as some people may think, unfamiliar with the subject.
