Rules
You can only add numbers
of the same things.
Subtraction is good as long as
it isn't yours
or you didn't want it.
A tumour for example.
Multiply yourself (but if
you're a woman, don't
make more women)
Divide to conquer? More often
divide to maintain what you think
you have that is better.

And
how many birds
do constitute a flock?
