How can she have 120 marbles total, but also have 135 more red compared to blue?

It recalls me a humoristic description of a mad-house in a classic novel of one classic author.

He describes a personage of this mad-house, who stated that inside of the Earth globe
there is another sphere of a greater diameter.

My lovely humor.
