There were some kayakers in an eddy, each waiting their turn to surf a wave nearby.
19 kayakers got tired of waiting and left the eddy to join another group.
17 other kayakers entered the same eddy to surf the same wave.
Now there are 63 kayakers in the same eddy jostling around to grab the surf wave.
Question: How many kayakers were in the eddy to begin with?
