+ 22 comments Jesus! The problem text is just ridiculously long and needlessly complex. I'm sure the actual problem is easy to solve since it's tagged as easy - but consider improving the wording and removing extra sentences that are not needed.
English is my first language and I have a tough time grokking what the problem is exactly. Imagine a non-native speaker.

+ 2 comments The real question is how does a bicycle can have a "check engine" light?
+ 0 comments As many other said the problem explanation is too wordy for the complexity of it. But IMHO understanding ambiguous and bluffed text could be another part of the problem solving as in reality there are tons of careless counsultants and clients. In terms of growing tolerance against that, I cannot compalin about this quiz.
+ 6 comments The width array was missing in the C / C++ / C++ 14 versions of the stuff given.
People should be able to figure that out and all, and hey, C++ is harder anyway, right? But seriously, in an Easy-level question it would be nicer not to leave that out.
I often can't tell if the omissions or not-wide-enough data types in some languages but not others are features or bugs. It is good practice regardless, but I wasted a lot of time and some hackos before I realized you can't always trust the given parts at least in C++ and C versions.
