So, if we know that Z << X, we can ALSO infer that Y << X (we just don't know how Y relates to Z). | So, if we know that Z << X, we can ALSO infer that Y << X (we just don't know how Y relates to Z). | ||

Like the above, but inverted: what if we KNOW that the top number is less than one of the two numbers beneath it? Can we also infer some pattern?
