This is such a silly question but I would like to get some adcoms' opinions on this...

I noticed that one of the more common interview questions ask you about how you work in a "group setting" - Does working in a 2-people group (yourself and another person) count as "group work"?
 
Per AAMC, a dyad is the smallest possible group. Do you even MCAT bruh?

Also, hand + person = person ok
 
^ and both of these answers are valid. I guess I'll just ask straight up if a two-person group counts.

Yeah but in abstract algebra, the trivial group (whose only element is the identity element under any operation st e*e=e) is the smallest possible group.

Your move, AAMC...
 
I have but my better examples are working in a 2-person group settings.

So just say "Most of my experiences have been in two person groups, and example example example. I have had a handful experiences with larger groups and example example."

But the trivial group is a perfect group, so they can't say ****.
 
Two people = regular sex. Three people = threesome. Four people = foursome. Five+ people = group sex/orgy.
 
Excellent question! I'm leaning towards no, though.
