Average worth of American billionaires:
A: $184 billion B: $39 billion
C: $19 billion D: $4 billion

Since some billionaires have only a billion or two, some other billionaires must have twice the average or more. So D is the only reasonable answer.

If each one had only $1B, there would be 2399. 13 and 61 are too few. I'd try the 50:50 hoping C and D weren't left.
