There are three types of citizens living in a certain state:
a) a fool thinks everyone is a fool, and he considers himself a smart guy;
b) a modest smart guy knows about everyone correctly, and considers himself a fool;
c) a confident smart guy knows about everyone correctly, and considers himself a smart guy.
There are 200 senators in Congress. The vice president conducted an anonymous poll of the senators: how many smart people are in the room right now? He could not find out the number of smart ones from the questionnaires. But then the only senator who did not take part in the survey returned from his trip. He had filled out a questionnaire about the whole Congress, including himself, and after reading it, the vice president understood everything.
How many smart people could there be in Congress (including the traveler)?

📚 Estimation plus example is a special mathematical reasoning that applies in some problems on finding the greatest or least values. In all problems of this kind, two things must be done:
1) give an example to prove that the answer you get is correct;
2) come up with an estimate that proves that the smaller/larger number somehow contradicts the condition.
