Language=English
It is an integer, there should be a space between 21. and 5

The answer is correct.  It is my interpretation and my math that are
off.

I know it would be a somewhat of a pain, but perhaps spelling the
quantities, or rewording the answer would cause less confusion.

Thanks for your quick response.

Title:
  Incorrect asnwer, or I'm dumb

Status in “gbrainy” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gbrainy

  V1.51

  Q:
  Out of 40 people, 13 have brothers, 14 have sisters and 8 have both. How many people have neither brothers nor sisters.

  A:
  The correct answer is 21.5 people have brothers only, 6 sisters only and 8 have sisters and brothers.

  Is there a half brother somewhere?  I would guess by the wording, that
  the 8 that have both would be part of the 27 that have one or the
  other.  That would be 13 that have neither.  If the wording is
  unclear, and the 13 and 14 are exclusive, and only have brother, or
  only have sister, then the 8 would be in addition to the 27.  Which
  would be 35, leaving 5 with neither.  So it looks like a bug to me.
