-1 (wraps around so = INT_MAX) and I win!

No, it is the other way around for two's complement:

INT_MIN = -INT_MAX - 1

Two's complement is unbalanced. You do not know the power of the dark (negative) side.

For example, for signed 32-bit integers using two's complement (C/C++ int on most current architectures and JVM int).

INT_MAX = 2**31 - 1 = 2147483647

INT_MIN = -2**31 = -2147483648
