    Ah, heck, that’s a lot of thought, thanks for the explanation - although I can see someone mistaking another number in that place.

      The question could have been worded better. Technically, and out of context of the puzzle, (spoiler follows)...

      …it could be seventy. Or seventy-anything, for that matter.

        I was thinking of 11, because that doesn’t sound like an absurd number to me (and I was also just talking to someone that put that number as the answer) :P
