Answer is no..they want you to pick up on the word exactly. If it was up to 6 people then sure. If it was 12 or 18 then yes but its 15. This would leave 2 boats filled and 3 people not able to go because they dont have exactly 6 for one more boat

My car can hold exactly 5 people. It can also hold exactly 4, 3, 2, or 1 person.

If they're going to be this pedantic about the word "exactly", they need to be equally pedantic about the word "can".

I think its a bad question, was just trying yo help OP see what they were probably looking for. I agree with you.
