What's the largest number you can represent with 3 digits? Nope. It's not 999

It's late, and i honestly don't care much to get into details, especially since you obviously don't want to and even take a hostile tack to honest and simple questions.

Context matters. You're smart, i'm sure you'll figure this out eventually.

"Only a very narrow mind will insist on there being only one correct answer."

This is the ad hominem that you think as honest and simple. Anyone who disagrees with this perspective will have a very narrow mind.

Anyone could think of a trivial example with a clear answer, like, "What's 3 + 5?" And you'd be saying that anyone who thinks there's only one answer to that is very narrow minded.

I do. I can think of 2 answers right now and both are equally valid.
