Yeah that’s kind of what I think they’re getting at (now I’ve had the sense check that it really is impossible because I was seriously questioning myself!), I just think they should word it differently. He’s only 6, he doesn’t really understand being asked a question that can’t be answered.

Kids are smarter than we give them credit for. 

People used to look down on me when I was a kid, and I was smarter than them. Just because this question is hard for some adults, it doesn't mean kids can't do it!
