Ok, so i got this one wrong because I didn't assume something, which they tell you to never assume anything on DS.
Bob purchased 18 cans of soda, some of which containted diet soda. How many cans of the cans did not contain diet soda?
1. Of the can's bob purchased, the number containing soda is equal to the number not containing diet soda..
2. of the cans bob purchased, the number containing diet soda is odd.
Am i just supposed to assume that there are only 2 types of soda? What if there were 107 types of soda and they are only talking about 2 types? how do you tackle something like this when the information isn't clear.

This one is a poorly worded question.
Option 1 tells you that
all soda (the number containing soda) = all soda - diet soda
and the question tells you that all soda = diet soda + other kind of soda = 18
The problem is what does PR mean by the number containing soda in the option A is it all soda or is it other kind of soda.
