The set of crockery originally consisted of four dinner plates, four side plates, four bowls, and four mugs, all matching. I have broken one dinner plate [some time ago] and now one bowl. So the question is: do I just have some fun and intentionally smash a side plate and a mug, so that it’s now sets of three?

Hold a competition to come up with the most inventive way to break the other items and then photograph the results.

Re #2: First I tried Secret Option [c]—mending the bowl with SuperGlue. But the fix wasn’t watertight, so now I’ll have to break it again.

This could be a good opportunity to take up plate spinning.

You can’t have a set of 3, it’s an odd number. Clearly your only solution is to break stuff until you end up with 2 of each item.

Re #5: We had slightly more SuperGluing success with the fridge doorhandle which someone wrenched from its fittings. :P
