Dead easy, often wonder why posters ask for clarification when all the info is in the article, could cite more examples.

Increasingly I have to correct people when they are quoting news or having read something as they just skim stuff and remember it wrong and are vehement they are right.

Not 9 bikes, 1+4=5.

"Five bicycles were torched " "four other bicycles in a nearby condo parking space were also set alight."

So that's a total of 9...good thing it wasn't cars.
