A farmer has 17 sheep and all but 9 die. How many are left? - 17 (9 dead and 8 alive)
Okay now, I change my answer to 17 (9 alive and 8 dead, "all but 9 means all are dead except 9)

This is definitely one of the harder number puzzles on this site.
A teacher says: I'm thinking of two natural numbers greater than 1. Try to guess what they are.
The first student knows their product and the other one knows their sum.
First: I do not know the sum.
Second: I knew that. The sum is less than 14.
First: I knew that. However, now I know the numbers.
Second: And so do I.
What were the numbers?
