""Here I am! The one and only Queen of Hearts ! This time completely dressed, big thanks to Marjan.
Yesterday it felt a bit like 'The Emperor's New Clothes', (literary folktale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen), but a queen just has to do things, sometimes reluctantly.
However, the guessing game was a lot of fun. I and Marjan enjoyed all the suggestions, including even the right ones. Bravo!
As for the philosophical question, I just wanted to say that in this case 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 !!! ;-))
Wishing you all a pleasant day!! """

~~~ 'The Emperor's New Clothes' (by Hans Christian Andersen):
Two swindlers arrive at the capital city of an emperor who spends lavishly on clothing at the expense of state matters. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are stupid or incompetent. The emperor hires them, and they set up looms and go to work. A succession of officials, and then the emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool.
Finally, the weavers report that the emperor's suit is finished. They mime dressing him and he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all. The people then realize that everyone has been fooled. Although startled, the emperor continues the procession, walking more proudly than ever.~~~

Back to the intriguing question : is 1+1 always 2?
If so……what about 1+1+1 ? is that always 3?

"All good things come in threes", is the saying

Have a guess, what is it? …..or what will it be?……… or what will become……….
Have a wonderful puzzling Tuesday ;-)))
