What is the original question?

this is my own self imposed learning so the question is the one i presented :P

#

My mind cant accept the paradoxal"ness" of if 11-12 are equal in distance apart, then they both must start and end on zero... Yet if we count 11 in the sequence and go all the way to 12.. You either cant say "11" or u cant say "12" or u get 11 steps not 10? (theres 11 lines)

#

So are we not counting 11 from 11-12 when 11 and 12 are equal in distance? xD FML

#

so saying 11 in this context would be like counting from 0-10 instead of 1-10? xD

#

but u count 10-20 not 11-20 xD

#

I dont get it :(

#

Like i can count on my fingers it makes sense it just... logically doesnt idfk

#

nvm i guess im just over thinking
