Our favorite superhero (SuperTurtle) did a great job as a superhero today. Here is what happened ---
- 9:14 A.M.- SuperTurtle saved 48 out of 48 people in the plane crash this morning.
- 12:38 P.M.- SuperTurtle was able to save 2945 people out of 2947 people when the giant robot attacked 59th street.
- 7:09 P.M.- SuperTurtle was able to save 548 out of 549 people when a "monster" attacked.
So, SuperTurtle did a pretty good job in NYC today. You could take the time to find out how many people he DID save today. My question for you is, however, how many people did he NOT save today?

Hint
"not save"?And the answer is not 3, for you who think it is. Remember, this IS in the trick category...
Answer
Technically, he did not save around 6 billion people.He did have the chance to save 4,137 people. The other 6 billion or so people in the world were not "saved" by SuperTurtle that day. They didn't need saving (except for the 3 who died today).
To find the exact answer, you would take the world's population - 4,137 people he did save.
