No, the least amount of apples it can have is zero.:D

I just have a thing about numbers that makes a part of my brain scramble and then reach out, rearranging my eyeballs. On the bad days, I have to repeat the phone number over and over (to myself, yesssss LOL) as I cross the room least, with one tiny interruption, I forget it. And I'm talking about my own home number here folks. :eek: LOL I think of it as numbers dyslexic or something along those lines?

No such thing a minus...

What about 4-3=1 (four minus three equals one)? :D

You got me there! That is a different scenario then mentioned before.

See, I can make lots of them - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - and yes it's the twin of hyphen, I believe?

These are concepts that the Greek mathematicians thought about and settled a few thousand years ago, so don't congratulate yourselves too much for your deep original thinking.

First of all, I never said I was the original person to think of these questions.

Second, grow a sense of humor.

Sense of humour is good to have. It makes for a happier healthier self. Lol
