Maths fog problem

[Holymolymackerel]

Choose a number that is

Just means choose a number that is less than 15.

14

Wide bit higher number, pointy bit lower number

Anything between 1 and 15 not including 15. Could be -200, could be 14.9999999

[but could be -220, could be 14.99999]

Choose a number that is less than 15

Please tell me this is a wind-up

Ah, but Hope, I've read Brazzaville Beach and you were married to a mathematician, so this might seem easy for you...

< looks like and 'L' which stands for 'less than'
1

This is how I visualise it

Thanks all!

Think of it as a crocodile mouth, the wider bit is always the larger side because the croc likes larger meals!!

Seriously? is the OP 5?

Does the job if you forget doesn't it? Considering OP asked the question in the first place!

Op asked a question, the crocodile idea is just an easy way to remember.
