No, I just followed the "logical" conclusion of your contradictory
statements.

YOU are the one that figured out that a negative number of people got an
answer right without guessing. If you come up with a conclusion that is
improssible, you know, or should know, that it's time to go back to the
drawing board.

IOW, you have no idea how to answer it.

LOL. You can't figure it out, and you know it. I know the answer, and
will show I do by pointing out the key to the solution: "same velocity".
But you still don't have a fucking clue, even though I have just all but
told you the answer.
Looks like those 3 1/2 million extra cells are being used to keep your
knuckles aligned as they drag along the ground!
