One less than a crowd? (3)
I believe the answer is:
two
This might be a double definition.
'one less' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a crowd?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'than' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for two that I've seen before include "Cat's coat" , "Pair; hour after lunch" , "Pair, deuce" , "eg Twins" , "Item" .)
