Koohii Story 1 It is a little awkward when you are at a fiesta and the host serves some rare delicacy, like moth cocoons, the guests must decide how many it would be polite to eat. You do the math in your head and it comes out to two cocoons per person. This is why the horizontal line is a fraction bar with two cocoons on the top, and one person the bottom.
Koohii Story 2 How many went to the party? Two aliens and one person (I feel sorry for that person).
