Shouldn't the correct answer be "2?"

If Juan is going to share a locker, which is a parameter we have to follow, he can only share it with one of the two girls. This should make the answer "2" instead of "3" right?

Hi @ian, You're right that Juan can only go with one of the two girls, meaning that he must share with either N or T. However, the question stem isn't asking about who J could share with, it's asking how many lockers he (and one of the two remaining girls) could be assigned to. One F and R have been assigned, there are three remaining lockers to which Juan and his partner could be assigned.
