EVE ATE THE APPLE ,
Question Arises: How Many Did
d, 49,. She Eat?

Opinions differ as to the number
Of apples eaten by Adam and Eve. If,
as some suppose, only Eve ate an
apple, the total would be, /. But Eve
ate, and gave Adam to eat, so they
must have eaten 2. Yet, If Eve 8,
the total would be s and if Adam
also took 1, the total was 8. Further,
if Eve 81 and Adam I, the total is
10, Again, if Eve 81 and Adam 2,
the total is IL. Still further, II Eve
8 and Adam 8 the total is 16. Again,
If Eve g and Adam 8 2, the total is
80. But if Eve 8 and Adam g 1 2
the total eaten by both stands at 89S.
Still, if Eve 8 1i2 test the Serpent's
story. and Adam 8 1:2, they total
i, ,624. Once more, if Eve 81 2 test
the Serpentts story, and Adam 8 IL
2 keep her company, the total is g.
934. Finally, if these figures are cor
rect and they 2, 8 1894 2 become
Gods according to the Sefpent's
promise, the grand total will stand
2,sss,342 apples. No wonder that
meal brought trouble to the race
