zunairah:

if johnny is the 10th tallest and 10th shortest how many people are in his class

Floo:

Well there must to be more than two people considering you used the word tallest instead of taller or tall

zunairah:

ok

Floo:

is that it?...

Vocaloid:

Imagine that the classroom is lined up, shortest to tallest If he's the 10th tallest, there are 9 people in front of him He's also the 10th shortest, so there are 9 people behind him 9 + 9 + 1 (Johny himself) = 19 people

Floo:

I doubt it's that simple. Unless it is, and it's actually not a riddle

Vocaloid:

I think my solution is correct. Everybody in the classroom is either taller, shorter, or Johnny himself. Unless there are some unknown # of people who are exactly the same height as Johnny, in which case the problem becomes unsolvable.

Floo:

ottimo lavoro lancelot lmao.

zunairah:

okay tahnks

zunairah:

but 19 isnt the asnwer

Floo:

Honestly ban

Vocaloid:

Couple of possibilities: - if this is a riddle, then perhaps it also wants to count the teacher, which would be 20 instead of 19 - the question wants how many people besides Johnny - error in the answer key

Floo:

That is plausible if it is a riddle unlike your former answer
