'Agreed' is usually fine. Also for some reason I think it's clearer if you reply with 'no it's not' rather than just no.

You see, all the answers are of the form 'no I didn't' which adds clarification beyond a simple no.

Yes, that's what I said. It gives the rule - negative for agreement, positive for disagreement but adds a clarifier

Wikipedia lists English as an example of languages in which a simple 'no' means agreement with a negative statement.

Urggghhh. I'm not going to win this one, am I?

There's not a winning. I don't think there's a right answer. I'm just nerding about language coz its fun for me. XD

I think its an example of language rules changing & that negative agreeing with negative was the rule but isn't any more.

Because its not the rule in most languages.The opposite is. And you're very very bored now. I'm going to explore this 4 hrs!

I'd say you could explain Schrodinger's equation to me tomorrow in compensation but you don't necessarily want to! XD
