@hoblos @KingGeorge Mensa When the examination results were published, one college found that all 32 of its students were successful in the last one of the three exams that each of them had taken. Of the students who did not pass exam one, the number who passed exam two was exactly half of the number who passed exam three. The number who passed only exam one was the same as the number who passed only one of the other two exams, and three more than the number who passed exam one and at least one of the other two exams. How many students passed more than one exam?

Even students pass exam one only, three passed exam two only, and eight passed exam three only. Thus ten students passed more than one exam.
