ouch!...lemme try:

there are 9 cups on a table; 2 more are added, how many cups are on the table?

ok ill bite....11?

try my questions...

11 does the job, as does 9 cups and 3 tables but in the spirit of the OP's solution, the one I was specifically looking for is 2 (since nein cups on the table means no cups on the table! 😵 )

the candles are all lit...currently...

One dead fly remains. The rest fly away.

Ten candles remain. Seven of them remain lit.
