Count at least one by complement or add/subtract overlaps with a Venn mindset.

Try this in Python

universe = 100
bad = 33 + 20 - 6  # |A∪B| toy
print(universe - bad)

Key takeaways

  • Draw two-set Venn before three-set formulas.
  • Complement flips “none” vs “some”.
  • Practice mod arithmetic if required.
