Ready?
The French soccer team is made up of players from many other teams. There are at least two players in the team who have exactly the same number of teammates present. Is this possible?

(Caveat: I don't understand the question or the answer!!)

I don't think I understand it either. It seems obvious that if two or more players are from the same team, they will by definition have exactly the same number of teammates present?
So e.g. if three players are from the same team they will each have two teammates??

In fact I would say, the opposite is not possible: to have a team where no player has the same no. of team mates as any other.

Answer:- Yes, if each player is given a label denoting the number of players present the label can only be one of ten numbers (0 and 11 cannot both appear) so one number must appear twice.

Even I know the apple one. I'm still totally confused about the football one.

Can you translate that please? (is it in Welsh, Irish or Dutch?)
