What's three plus four? Seven by going four, five, six, seven. You don't go THREE four five six. Why not? I don't really know. How many days until Christmas? There are four ways to go about counting and three different possibel solutions. Let me show you:
1. Including today AND Christmas: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday-5 days.
2. Including only today and not Christmas: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday-4 days.
3. Including only Christmas and not today: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday-4 days.
4. Excluding both: Thursday, Friday, Saturday-3 days.
I would go with number 2 or 3. Number 2 because if it's already Christmas, why count the day? Number 3 because that's standard addition. Number one and four have reasonable arguments, as well. I, for one, really don't know.
Question of the Day: In your persepctive, which of the counting methods above are correct? Why is that one correct and not the others?
P.S. I know that's a hard Question of the Day, but that's the kind of questionI LOVE. Hard and frustrating, one htat no one can answer satisfactorily. Except for some super logical person like Max-Ernest. I would love to hear his opinion on this question!
