Please help a non-mathematician with an awfully green question. If the

starting point premise was/is "the square root of -25 apples" (and I

do grasp the introduction of 'i' solving the logic), wouldn't the applied

answer suggest... not having, inventory short or being without those 5

imaginary apples, rather than an unsigned/positive quanity of '=5'?


Note: No funny business now about short 5 imaginary green apples. πŸ˜€

I'm no mathematician either..... Haven't dealt with imaginary numbers since school when I was 17..... I was simply making the point that his logic on the number one can be disputed using negative and imaginary numbers.....

Plus I like the Idea of turning 25 anti apples into 5 imaginary apples..... It apple's to me........ Excuse the pun I couldn't resist....

Matt Damon's neat line at the college co-ed Boston lounge in "Good

Will Hunting" comes to mind. He says to the guy whose gal he took

away, "You like apples? How do you like them for apples?"... showing

him the slip of paper with her phone number... in her handwriting. -gb

Okay. Just take me a bit slow. By the way, was the guy who lost his

gal to Matt Damon in the movie then... minus one imaginary peach?
