There are 189 members of the tennis club:
8 has been at the club less than three years ;
11 are under 20 years of age; 70 wear spectacles;140 are men.


What is the smallest number of players who had been members for three
years or more, were at least 20 years of age, wore glasses and were Men?

Answer:
If all 49 woman wore glasses then 21 men wore glasses too. If 11 of these men were under 20 years of age, only 10 men older then 20 years of age wore
glasses. Then 10-8=2. Men is the minimum number.

Well I would think with it being tennis it would be 2 as the smallest number of players
