It's up to you what interpretation you want of the rules. It doesn't say anything about ties in the rules and the definition of fewest does not require you to have less than everyone else, just the lowest amount.Consider this scenario: there are 1,000,000 people in the world, each with a number of pencils, from 1 to 100 pencils. There are multiple people with each amount so that lets say 50 people have 1 pencil.
You could say those 50 people have the fewest pencils. You could also say that any person who has 1 pencil has the fewest since no one has fewer than them.
This is a similar issue based on the word majority or most. If I said, I have most of the pencils, it implies I have more than everyone else combined. However, it literally means you have the most, in this case 100 pencils.
The problem is that people often apply additional meaning to these words, such as the requirement that there be no ties. With this unofficial meaning, in all of the scenarios described above, no one has the fewest or most.
Solely replying, "no" doesn't really add anything to the discussion. I give my reasons for interpreting the card. Players are free to interpret the cards and play with them as they like. On the other hand, this forum is a place for people to give their thoughts so that others who have questions might make their own decision with something to go off of.
