Sorry, but this bothers me.

It’s not a puzzle, it’s a grammatical trap of the past/present/future participle rule.

To illustrate:

 

Jim had a cocktail party last night. 3 of the guests were men, 9 were women.

 

How many strippers attended?

 

Would you ever write or say:

 

Jim had a cocktail party last night. 3 of the guests are men, 9 are women.

 

No, because Jim had.

 

Interesting broken Q though.
