Rory's mom buys 7 apples. Alfonso eats some of them. There are 5 left. How many did rory eat? I don't think 7-0=5 is the correct answer

 

[Traxxis]

Since Alfonso ate "some of them" instead of "one of them" I would take that to be Alfonso ate more than one. If there are 5 left, that means that Rory didn't eat any, or zero.

the real question would be did they use gubmint cheez for the grilled cheese sammies.

Some isn't necessarily plural.

Some isn't necessarily plural.

Nobody uses "some" describe a single anything unless it's along the lines of "that Stan is some kind of fool".

Yes... I suppose the dictionary could be wrong and you "could" be right... but I doubt it.
