Hmmm...I probably wouldn't vote for it, if that's what you are asking.
The joke is that Max Smart was known as Agent 86. The movie wasn't very good mostly because it didn't include his fellow agent and love interest Agent 99. So it was (Agent) 86 minus (Agent) 99 equals negative 13. We all know how unlucky the number 13 is, so a minus 13 must be extraordinarily unlucky (as it was for that film). Get it?

Very good. I didn't get it previously, but had already voted for it anyway as I trusted that it must be something meaningful. |

I'm voting for it now. When I checked it out on imdb (I didn't know it was Maxwell Smart movie) I couldn't see 99 - and didn't know the series well enough to remember who that was. I will also admit to sometime voting for what I think are clever reviews even if I'm not quite sure I understand them?!! |

I didn't realize there was a Get Smart film, but when I looked at the credits, there was also an Agent 13 in it. I thought maybe that was a factor too. |

This wasn't a troll for votes, but thank you for them, anyway.
My point is that Whipper said he wouldn't vote for a review where "=" is used for equal and "+" is used for and. I assumed he would include "-" being used for less. My review is a mathmatical one, which I think works (if you know the film).

Assume nothing.  |

Does using signs conserve word usage?
