Minimum size of a group
I suppose I might imagine a "group" of people to be at least three (otherwise it's a pair or couple), but in one of Emma Orczy's Old Man in the Corner stories I just read "a group of two figures". Equinox ◑ 12:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)


 * "Three or more" would be common usage, certainly, much as in talking about "a few" or "a number", but in technical discussion, especially in algorithmic or logic theory, there could be senses in which it could be equivalent to "zero or more" (eg. "We categorised the populations into groups of members with various attributes, then we examined the groups with fewer than four members, and nearly half those groups had only one member, or were empty.")
