Yes, well. There are two ways how the inequal number thingy is irrelevant.
1. Tolerating them is the middle solution, the golden mean. It's just the combination of the two previous ones, so it basically the same as saying "both".
2. Loving and hating is one option. Neither love nor hatred will lead to a peaceful coexistence. It creates too much tension, it cannot last forever. Option 2, tolerating them is the answer to that problem.
3. Numbers don't matter.

Damn students on crack. Also, JT, where do you get the "answer given in exam" stuff? You're a teacher or something?

Not a chance - I'd rather spend as little time around children as possible, horrid little beasts that they are. Found it all on some teachers website.
