    In this paper the authors study how much Schubert calculus can be extended to the real case. They consider a 2-parameter family of enumerative problems over the reals. (see \textit{F. Sottile} [Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 47, No. 1, 31--71 (2010; Zbl 1197.14052)]). More precisely, they use the method of \textit{R. Vakil} [Ann. Math. (2) 164, No. 2, 489--512 (2006; Zbl 1115.14043)] for the complex case and extend it to the real case. They calculate the solution function of the 2-parameter family and show that in the even case the solution function is constant modulo 4. (see \textit{N. Hein} et al. [J. Reine Angew. Math. 714, 151--174 (2016; Zbl 1403.14088)], and \textit{N. Hein} et al. [São Paulo J. Math. Sci. 7, No. 1, 33--58 (2013; Zbl 1351.14036)]).
