Oh, I would answer correctly because I believe in Tolstoy's talent
But I have to say that the difference is not that significant.
War and peace is cca 2.51 million symbols (w/o spaces).
Les Miserables is cca 2.45 million symbols (w/o spaces, in Russian translation).
I would say, when the difference is so low, it can possibly depend on the language of the text.
Anyway, as the correct answer is still correct - it's not a suggestion to change or remove the question, but just a remark.
Book question has 65% correct answers. So i see no reason to remove it even if i cannot say how do people get the answer
