-34 = 81

It isn't correct for normal arithmetic/maths.
In APL "high minus" is normal notation for a negative number (i.e. part of the number itself), with minus being reserved for the subtraction operation. I've heard "high minus 3" pronounced "neg 3".

Datman:
If you write -3x , it should be negative independently on x. The sign can not depend on x even or odd!

Infinity ... Chicken in our world aren't linearly scalable, so if you cut off 1/3 of the "one and a half chicken", you'll get a dead chicken ;D

Chickens don't lay eggs. Hens lay eggs. Chickens lay drumsticks.
Half a chicken lays dead. In a supermarket. For $5.25 a pound.
