I would say that the answer is 59 as explained by the people above but since there's no option of 59 so the just greater number 60 would be chosen as an answer which is correct according to the question and it would be great if people could explain the reason for giving 60 as an answer rather than just increasing a number of blue hat to satisfy what given as an option. Thanks ! :D
