The answer is, obviously, -805:
First we can't see a large percentage of our Universe
Now it seems the Galaxies we think we see may not be that many
New measurements of that weak background glow show that the unseen galaxies are less plentiful than some theoretical studies suggested, numbering only in the hundreds of billions rather than the previously reported two trillion galaxies.

Now this is out there
9...Mr. and Mrs. Mustard have six daughters and each daughter has one brother. How many people are in the Mustard family?
I got this one wrong.Then, you learn the answer and you're like...ahhh, of course.
Mr. and Mrs. Mustard, 6 daughters and 1 son...?
Yep! Good job
Thanks, Wegs.Yep! Good job
I was addicted to Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games column in Scientific American Magazine.
Simply type " Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games " into your favorite 'Search Engine'...then...diversion...fun...brain sweat...are all sure to ensue...!!!
I’m not much of a math whiz but I like these brain teasers.
Wegs, not all of Martin Gardner's Puuzzles/Brain Teasers were Mathematical...take for instance this one from :
https://www.theguardian.com/science.../martin-gardner-mathematical-puzzles-birthday
" 1. Crazy cut
You are to make one cut (or draw one line) – of course it needn’t be straight – that will divide the figure into two identical parts."
The solution can be found here :

Way too easy.
...for some, for others, maybe not so easy.
At any rate, for the better part of thirty years I looked forward to Martin Gardners writings/games/puzzles in Scientific American every month.
Like I told Wegs, DaveC426913, if you have not already done so : Simply type " Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games " into your favorite 'Search Engine'...then...diversion...fun...brain sweat...are all sure to ensue...!!!

This is a much better version. This one needs deep thought:
