There are either adults or kids among the 27 participants in the club.
Three more men than women are present.
Males make up 12 of the 16 adults.
In the club, how many boys are there?
Explanation:
This is due to the fact that 4 of the 16 adults are female if 12 of the adults are male. Since there are 27 members of the group, 11 of them must be minors.
There are 3 more men than females, therefore the total number of males is equal to the total number of females + 1. The following can be written:
12 (adult males) plus MC (male children) equals 4 (adult female) plus FC (female children) plus 3.
In other words, 5 = FC - MC. Consequently, 5 + MC = FC.
Knowing that the sum of MC and FC is 11, FC can be used to replace 5 + MC in the calculation, resulting in MC + 5 + MC = 11. There are therefore 3 male children.

Explanation:
The probability of X failing then Y succeeding is lower than the likelihood of X succeeding in the sequence X then Y on any pair of turns where X must fail before Y may succeed.
