There is NOTHING wrong with the way this question was phrased. This would've made a nice SAT or GMAT problem haha. Even I got it wrong on the first try (im an engineer) and I thought it was 2....then i looked back and was like waiiiit a second.

OH you're an engineer?
Holy shit, then you MUST be the ultimate authority because everyone knows that engineers have the deepest understanding of mathematics (granted this is extremely simple shit, but there's a subtlety most people here seem to be missing). Dude reality check, engineers are complete dumba**es at math because they learn it completely wrong their entire academic lives. And the reason is that they never need to understand it properly, just use it.
Nobody was insisting that the answer is 2. The discussion was around whether the question is poorly written or not, and it absolutely is. I've explained it at length in my earlier posts and refuse to do it again.
WRONG....getting angry about shit won't make it right...
i wish a practical life or need progam was invented where the wrong answer would electrocute you to death!
half the people in the world would go bye bye!
