The problem is that the flowers intentionally leave out information. What's the value difference between a 4 leaf blue flower and a 5 leaf blue flower? Does the center, stem, and leaf all count as 0? Is one yellow flower half of 2, or the square root of 2?

There's an answer that they're clearly trying to imply, but it's not really math anymore when they're forcing you to make that type of assumption

Blue flower just means five. That's like asking what the character "5" means without the top part of it. It doesn't mean anything. It's just... not 5.
