This is a little unclear. Is that ONE coupon for just ONE of the friends, or does that ONE coupon extend to all six friends of the group?

As the problem is worded, printed, posted and presented, it is not a Math problem, because its meaning is unclear.

It is some collection of words, but not a Math problem.

Not every set of words is a Math problem.
