Olympiad: the euphemism detective ★★★, sentence 3

Some puzzles count: how many people in a story are still alive, how many really drank, and only the plain meanings are counted, never a hyperbole like "a million times".

Who acts: puzzles, many · What happens: count, be, drink · To what, where: plain meanings
