| I can't understand it. Explain what you are trying to say with it, and we can work out a correct formulation. |

I don't think you can do that. It will make sentences clumsy and incomprehensible.
Try to write it as simple as possible. Have a look at the examples below.
How many kids can you attract with this toy?
How many kids will be attracted by this toy?
