If Kevin is sharing his candy with his friends, and there's enough for 15 people, he does not share it with 15 of his friends. He would share it with 14 of his friends (since Kevin would be the 15th). If he's GIVING it to his friends, then yes. This question should be better written to remove the ambiguity.
