God I hated questions like this in school. There's always something specific the teacher is looking for, but nothing to point you towards it.
I'm thinking maybe "Because if you subtract 40 from my number you get a negative number," but I could be either over- or under-thinking it.
I was guessing either it has fewer digits or the tens digit is less than 4 would be the desired answers depending on what the selected number was, that kind of question feels like it would predate negative numbers on the learning curve
"Because it has less in it"
