Been trying to find these English names for YEARS. The black velvet treat we used to call it Abalacheku growing up. I am so sad I can't get it here in the States. That and Udara, (star fruit).

Let Olodos be 3..
therefore: Olodo+Olodo+Olodo-Brainy=3
3-Brainy=3
3-3=Brainy(Collect like terms)
0=Brainy
Therefore brainy who claims to not be an Olodo, can be said to be Zero(Empty)..
