ravello, this one is for you. 😀
And so x = the number in elvendreamgirl's head.
But x is also proportional to y, given as x/y. Where y = why should I give a rat's bottom. As there is no known value for why, my answer is simply: x
Note: if you fault my reasoning blame the Association of Mathematics Teachers Obsessed With Fruit. For example:
"If Boby has twice as many apples as Edward, and darvlay has 69 more apples than Joe, who has one apple in each hand plus one concealed in his knickers, then how many apples does elvendreamgirl have, assuming that her train leaves Chicago at noon?"

I would show you my workings but there is insufficient space to do so. Suffice to say the answer is 3.
