I am trying to figure out a few things about "least" in these sentences
1) I'm not the least surprised that she's leaving. (Does it mean: I am not at all surprised.
2) I'm not teaching anything the least bit challenging any more. (I am not sure what it means)
3) This chair squeaks the least. (Would the following mean the same: This chair squeaks least.)
4) Not least among our difficulties is our lack of funding. (If it were an affirmative sentence would it be:"The least among our difficulties is our lack of funding" or Not the least among.... is also possible)
