1. If the product of 6 integers is negative, at most how many of the integers can be negative? Pick
A) 2 B) 3 C) 4 D) 5 E) 6
We're told that the product of 6 numbers is negative (the fact that they're integers is actually irrelevant). We're asked for the MAXIMUM number of those 6 that COULD be negative. We'll start with the largest and work our way down..   6 are negative: (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = + 1...which is NOT a negative product   5 are negative: (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(+1) = -1...which IS a negative product   5
<result>D</result>
