Hello All!



An adult education instructor came to me with a question she couldn't
figure out. She was playing a math game in the class similar to
Jeopardy so the answers need to be in the form of questions. I find
myself perplexed and I think there might be a typo or something.
Therefore, we need some help from the field. Below is the problem:



Problem: X when two or more than this number is 44.

Answer: What is the number 6?



Any thoughts?
