I like to read books

I like to play sports

4 people like to both read books and play sports. Put 4 dots in the area that is in both circles.

I like to read books

I like to play sports

Now add dots to the other two areas until there are 6 dots in the "I like to read books" circle and 9 dots in the "I like to play sports" circle.

I like to read books

I like to play sports

Count the dots that are in the "I like to play sports" circle but are not in the "I like to read books" circle. There are 5 dots.
