HOW did you arrive at this?
Y'all can't just conjure answers from nowhere, there's always a process in mathematics to validate your answer.

Yea, this should have been the answer but then, since "90% were eliminated", got me thinking how 90% would've gotten it wrong if that was the answer. If 63 is the answer and 90% were eliminated, then it's only pointing to one thing which is, intelligence of people in this generation is so overrated.
Fibonacci must be writhing in his grave right now.

The correct answer is 112
7 men and 7 wives
And each of them have 7 children that means each man have 7 children and each woman have 7 children
Which makes a total of 98 children + 7 men + 7 wives =112 people

63 should have been the answer but too bad the couples have the children separately
The man have 7 children separately and the wife 7 separately which means that for each man and each wife there are 14 children
