a question from my students' math books
Draw eight circles
Color three circles red
Color the others green
How many more red circles than green circles?
Shouldn't it be How many more green circles than red circles?

Color three circles red
Color the others green
How many more red circles than green circles?
Let's be fussy about this. This is an English Forum. The question should be How many more red circles than green

That was just for fun.
«If you want to quibble about math, do the instructions prevent me from drawing my circles one inside the other?»
That's implied.
