Well technically it would be, if you weren’t just basing a problem on this scenario, where you wanted a person to solve for the number of fruit. If you’re actually in this scenario, and not just writing a problem about it, then you could just count the fruit.

No. I used to do that. I stopped doing that after I registered for be the match and had gangs subsequently stalk and harass me. I had people threatening to shoot me over the past several years, which may or may not be tied to registering, but many of their threats were motivated by my blood type. I’m the universal blood type donor. I’ve had several people, throughout my life, make comments about having me killed for my organs since I’m everybody’s type. I know it was just people being cruel, but I really feel more at ease by not being a listed organ donor.

Someone in Beau Vallon, Seychelles, Africa probably found a pair of aviators on the shore by now. I’m out about $20 and not looking forward to spending summer without them, in America now. Oh well. Enjoy your new fashion accessory if you find them.
