Sorry, I will correct the description. I meant for each row (car) that has at least 1 driver I add one to the number of participants to return. So I only care about the car having at least one driver. Also I check that the number of participants is not greater than the number of cars.

Your solution sounds great.
Thanks for your answer!

I see what you mean.

If you do it that way, you aren't necessarily catching each driver once.

For example, if you have 4 cars and driver's with preferences of [8,7,5,1] the correct answer is 2, but because 8 is okay with cars 1,2 and 4, that method would return 3
