yes
No, the correct answer would be 350 humans fewer. Let me explain how to get to that answer.
Given that Trogmire Troll claimed there were 500 humans under Tremor's bed and the actual number was 150, we need to find the difference between these two numbers.
To do that, we subtract the actual number from the claimed number: 500 - 150 = 350.
Therefore, Trogmire claimed that there were 350 more humans than the actual amount. In other words, there were 350 humans fewer than what Trogmire asserted.
