No

And yet you managed to do it somehow. If you did it intentionally, congratulations, if not....well....good luck, you gonna probably need it.

Actually, this expresses my feelings: https://youtu.be/31g0YE61PLQ

6,7 conceals the mystery of the so-called "Baker's half-dozen."

I'm revealing this for the first time, ever.

Add some ginger, and you've got a great drummer.

War, you say? Never in life, @ColorParrot !

I am a fan of the noble Akiba Rubinstein -- possibly the most polite chess player ... in history!

If you wish to use 6,7 I have no objection whatsoever!

Indeed, who DOESN'T want a Baker's half-dozen (as I am now newly-coining the term, I believe), which means 6 + 1 = 7.

7 donuts? You betcha!

7 beverages? Well, I'd have to spread that many cups of goat's milk out over several hours -- but I'd enjoy each and every one!

7 days of hard work on the ranch? Yes, please! It's what a cowboy does! (Sorry, I should say "cowperson" in here, shouldn't I).

A bakers half dozen? 6.5?

No, @Telecaster12 , although I see why you'd ask that and find it reassuring that you (unlike too many) know what a "Baker's Dozen" is.

But here's the thing: I didn't write "Half of a Baker's dozen" (which would, indeed, be 6.5).

I wrote a Baker's Half-dozen. Which, in order to stick with an integral number of discrete objects, I declare to be 7.

That is, half of a dozen -- plus 1.

Just as a Baker's dozen is a dozen -- plus 1.

Since I believe I coined the term, I believe I am entitled to define it.

And so I did. See #38.

Incidentally, it appears that the original "Baker's Dozen" came to be as a result of steady, rational English bakers reacting to English law.

My Baker's Half-dozen came about as the result of an English beverage. Let's assume, out of politeness, that it's tea.
