dang thats crazy i tried like 4 times and got 3!!

[bobbyr]

um, i got 18....

[MTMike]

man... thats weird. I recounted like 5 times and made sure I wasn't missing any and still got 3 every time

[Fbody3400]

I got four the first time, and I KNEW about the 'of' thing. My first thought was, "make sure to count all the of's" And I still didn't do it!!!

[dmw319]

Pretty standard example in Quality Engineering. Shows that 100% inspection of anything is NOT 100%.

Wow, how can you guys keep looking at it several times and still come up with 3? My first time I got 6 right away, and believe me, I am no jenius....lol

[vanbibber]

you cheated.

[SilverBirdSeven]

lol, I got six the first time and kept recounting it because i figured I was missing some. I dont get it, how do you miss the letters?
I'm gonna re-apply to the community college now
