3-5 Coins? Are they fucking nuts?!

Everyone knows 8 is the luckiest number.

3-5 averages to 4 which is extremely unlucky

*smdh*

But 3 + 5 = 8.

Is addition an unluckier operation than averaging?

Clearly - addition has 8 letters

But the original comment says, 3-5 that's clearly negative 2.

Removing the metal objects from the plane would cause issues. Boeing has been testing this for a while.
