I’ve discovered the question indeed has a typo. It should be **15** k of g in a f p d. I trust that makes the solution obvious to all concerned. ---

that’s pathetic. It’s supposed to read FOR TEENS (instead of fourteen). Off to drink heavily-if a mod wants to fix the coding–never mind my mistake-fix the 14 k of g in a f p d!
