For you maybe.
But don’t forget there’s three types of people in this world:
Those that are good at math
and those that aren’t.

Yes, like I could have told you the score of the Alabama-Georgia game before it even started.

Mass starvation, gazillions of suicides, gulags ... er, how far you want to go, Tex?

I fail to see what makes this complicated.
I'm 65 and got the answer immediately.
The problem is the years of publik edu-ma-cashun that folks younger than us have had...
To: SouthernClaire
Either the correct answer is 65, or there’s some clever subtlety in the way the question is worded to throw the testee off, i.e. it’s a trick question/clickbait.

True. My wife will never be able to solve it. She still counts with her fingers and toes.

I had the answer as well. I only had to add two passengers to get the original answer.
Then again, I’ve always been immature.

Zero.
How many were on the train to begin with? Unless they live on the train, it started empty. :P

To: SouthernClaire
All one needs to concern oneself with is the net gain or loss of passengers during the trip.
That makes the word problem simple.
19 passengers get off while 17 passengers get on to replace them… simple subtraction gives us the answer to either add or subtract passengers to the final tally of passengers. Voilá! Answer.
