That's like me saying I have one finger
No it's like saying how many people have one finger, which is also wrong because you could have no fingers.

[QUOTE=o DefcoN o;23834058]No it's like saying how many people have one finger, which is also wrong because you could have no fingers.[/QUOTE] Not many people have only one finger, ten is the standard. If you ask "how many people have 0 fingers" do you expect to be answered "a few" or "all of them"? By default, the comparison is implied to be equality. You expect to know how many people have 0 and exactly 0 fingers.

You have none. No logical one at least.
I was correcting your analogy, which was also wrong. You can't say how many months have 0 days, but you can suggest a person has 0 fingers.
Some of these questions are ambiguous It could be "how many months have at least 28 days" or "how many months have exactly 28 days" It could also be "the mother has at least one boy" or "the mother has exactly one boy"

[QUOTE=o DefcoN o;23834393]I was correcting your analogy, which was also wrong. You can't say how many months have 0 days, but you can suggest a person has 0 fingers.[/QUOTE] My analogy was made to point out the fault that the correct answer to the question required that you treat the question "how many months have 28 days" as "how many months have 28 days or more" - which is an idiotic requirement seeing how it's assumed that, unless otherwise specified, you're asking for the amount of months whose length is 28 days. As such it needed no correction.
The question was, how many months have 28 days, not how many months have a length of 28 days.
Well what's the answer to it?
