I own three colanders.

How many rooms in your home though? These are crucial details.

Does a pot with drainage holes in the lid count as a colander? If so then I tie with you, otherwise, you win.

>>aidenn+Dp1
If so, you do not tie with me. ;)

I would normally let this comment pass, but the vital importance of the topic we are discussing creates a moral imperative for me to respond. Given that "whether or not pot with a lid with holes for draining pasta" counts as a colander is not a fact subject to temporal variance, when you "owned 3 colanders" then we are left with 2 possibilities at the time of your original comment:

1. A "pot with a lid with holes in it" counts as a colander:

Given P pots with drainage lids and C "typical colanders" in your household, P+C = 3 (which is the same as in my household, and thus a tie)

2. A "pot with a lid with holes in it" does not count as a colander:

C = 3 (P+C >=3, but is irrelevant to the discussion). This is larger than the two colanders in my household so you win.

Therefore, your more recent comment indicates that you purchased something that would qualify as a colander under situation #1 (either a typical colander, or pot with drainage in the lid) in the roughly 10 hours between your two comments. May I ask what sort of colander it was?

Excellent analysis, except that’s it’s based on a misinterpretation of what I’m saying. I’m saying that I wasn’t counting pots with holes in the lids, but if we expand the definition to include them, then my count increases to 4.

I’m obviously not answering that without a long painful discussion of what constitutes a room.
