Opinions differ as to the number of apples eaten by Adam and Eve. If, as some suppose, only Eve ate an apple, the total would be 1. But Eve atfe, and gave Adam to eat, so they must' have eaten %. Yet, if Eve 8, the total would be 8 and if Adam also took 1, the total was 9. Further, if Eve 8-1 and Adam 1, the total is 10. Again, if Eve 8-1 and Adam 2, the total is 11. Still further, if Eve 8 and Adam 8 the total is 16. Again, if Eve 8 and Adam 8 2, the total is 90. But if Eve 8 1 and Adam )8 1 2 the total eaten by both stands at 89S.|Es?a Still, if Eve 8 12 test the Serpent's Noti Btory, and Adam 8 12, they total 1,624. Once more, if Eve 8 12 test the Serpent's story, and Adam 8 12 2 keep her company, the total is 8, 934. Finally, if these figures are cor rect and they 2, 8 8934 2 become Gods according to the Set-pent's promise, the grand total will stand 2,889,342 apples.
