| Ok, Bear1, My brain was not ready for that either. As you look closer and open your mind to what is being said, the answer is correct. That was a nice Teaser. Intelligent, Mature and incisive.

| I don't know why but I really liked this one. Took me about 5 minutes. I first realized that the total of the number I wrote in had to be 10. After that, I realized that there's probably only 1 five because 5 is a really big number. Same with 4. Then the rest just fell into place. |

| djscribbles, the objective is to count how many times each number appears in the sentence and fill in the blanks correctly. BUT, each time you fill in a blank, the number of occurrences changes.
*SPOILER* The complete answer therefore breaks down as:
In this sentence, we see the number "1" occur 3 times,
and we see the number "2" occur 2 times,
and we see the number "3" occur 3 times,
and we see the number "4" occur 1 time,
and we see the number "5" occur 1 time.
Count through and it matches up. The number "1" occurs in the first line (within quotes, as I have written it), in the fourth line (telling how many times we see "4") and in the fifth line (telling how many times we see "5") for a total of 3 occurrences. |
