Reporting Obfuscation
The Director of the Euclid Institute asked her Deputy to prepare a report on the diversity of participants who spent their weekend working in the building. He produced the following report:
- There were 6 UK-based participants;
- 12 participants were female;
- 15 participants were early career researchers (ECRs).
As he handed over the report he commented that of the 25 participants in the building over the weekend:
- Only 1 was UK based but neither female nor an ECR;
- There were 4 female ECRs, and 2 UK-based male ECRs;
- 6 of the particpants were female but neither UK-based nor an ECR.
How many of the 25 participants in the building were UK-based female ECRs and how many were non-UK-based male non-ECRs?
