In a certain state, there are three types of citizens:

  • A fool considers everyone a fool and themselves smart;

  • A modest clever person knows truth about everyone’s intellectual abilities and consider themselves a fool;

  • A confident clever person knows about everyone intellectual abilities correctly and consider themselves smart.

There are \(200\) deputies in the High Government. The Prime Minister conducted an anonymous survey of High Government members, asking how many smart people are there in the High Government. After reading everyone’s response he could not find out the number of smart people. But then the only member who did not participate in the survey returned from the trip. They filled out a questionnaire about the entire Government including themselves and after reading it the Prime Minister understood everything. How many smart could there be in the High Government (including the traveller)?
