Can anyone give word problems on Venn diagrams?

Question

I need three word problems similar with this one:

A poll was taken of 100 students at an elementary school of how they got to school each day. 42 said they came by car, 28 came by bike, and 31 walked. 9 said they sometimes biked or walked, 10 said they sometimes biked or came by

car, and 6 said they sometimes walked or came by car. 4 said they sometimes walked, biked or came by car. The students who did not walk, bike or come by car, rode the bus every day. How many students only rode the bus?

I need problems aimed for high school students. Each problems should involve three intersecting circles in the Venn diagram. So for a change, I'm not asking for answers but questions.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Suppose I discover that my cat has a taste for the adorable little geckoes that live in the bushes and vines in my back yard. In one month, he deposits the following on my carpet:  six gray geckoes, twelve geckoes that had dropped their tails in an effort to escape capture, and fifteen geckoes that he'd chewed on a little. Only one of the geckoes was gray, chewed on, and tailless; two were gray and tailless but not chewed on; two were gray and chewed on but not tailless. If there were a total of 24 geckoes left on my carpet that month, and all of the geckoes were at least one of "gray", "tailless", and "chewed on", how many were tailless and chewed on but not gray?
