"The interviewee may confuse cars with trains. As Table 1 indicates a train consists of 2 front cars and 4 passenger cars."

:)

We have to produce 5 trains, but 20 cars...Slovakia does not have this excess capacity.

Hello Duarte,

As Ian correctly remarked, read carefully, since it´s not about the traing but the cars. Devil is in the details :)

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
