jimbo Dec 22, 2003	I thought 3 because the word 'apples' appeared three times in the riddle.

sweetime Sep 06, 2005	hehe, very cute, never would have picked it. i had three as well, because apples appears three times
stephiesd Dec 30, 2005	i guessed none, because she only dreamt about apples. that doesn't neccessarily mean they'd be real.
TehIgnored Mar 15, 2006	I don't think this is a true riddle, at least in my opinion it's not, there's no true intellectual basis for the answer.....I think it belongs in Trick. Good teaser though.
