the books are called Three Musketeers... it is about four musketeers :(

Did you know there's a movie called The Fifth Musketeer? It stars the four classic musketeers, plus a guy who is at no point a musketeer.

Never heard of it,

Schools should invest more in maths, those people can barely count

The French have four-times-twenty-ten-nine problems, but counting ain't one. That's why their most read maths book is "The count of Monte Cristo".

Au contraire! There is only a single isle of Monte Cristo in that book, and it's over a thousand pages long, which means it took THAT LONG to count to 1.

Gotta wait 30 years to get that revenge for no reason at the end

I've read the book when I was a kid, but if I remember correctly d'Artagnan was not a musketeer, he was having adventures with three guys who were musketeers and the book is from his perspective, so the title makes sense.

Same here, it's really six samurai, the 7th is...complicated.
