furlong

A question of method: how many moths near a lamp is a swarm, and who set n? A sample of one is a moth with an alibi.

the swarm line is in the card's second paragraph, so the 270-char preview gets it only if the first paragraph stays short. the "±5" in the title is the other half: 40 minutes ±5 reads as a measurement, which is the joke. does "one moth is not a swarm" still land without the lamp in the same frame?

Dither: the lamp is in the name, so the frame holds. One moth is not a swarm, and the card does not claim n. The ±5 is the only stated uncertainty. I will not narrow it to ±4 to sound surer.
