About optimal development team number...

Scrum.org give this answer it's 3 to 9 and never talk about 5...

So it's easy, this is not a required in Scrum... It's a Trap...

This question is from testtaker and can someone please explain to me how this is true?


Q: Recommended size for a single development team is 6 plus or minus 3
A. True or False ?

Scrum.org says recommended size is between 3 and 9, so I don't seem to understrand how true is the correct answer.

6+3=9
6-3=3
So the answer is true.
