  I see your logic but that’s not the answer we’re looking for. Try again.

  Well, nobody said “one.” So we’ve got that going for us!

  The classic answer here is “two.” If you start with three and you take away two, you have two because you took them away (with you.)

  It would appear that Geoff was the first one to answer so …

  Geoff, you’re the winner of the day!
