Yup. I agree.
Whoops! Haha! I didn't even notice that when I made the teaser!
Oh well! The answer is still one though, so either way you are still correct!

I got the correct answer, but in the wrong way. I thought it meant how many s's were in "the following sentence".
Ya, looks like everybody was thinking 'in the following sentence' instead of.... ya.
No i actually thought of the sentence so I noticed just one capital 'S'. Easy but fun.
cool.
Thought it was 'the following sentence' too!
Same
Agreed with hunnibabe, it shoudl've been two answers. :/
I got it after I read the hint.
i thought it was one but for a different reason theres one s in the following sentence the s in sentence
I got it right. But even if you think about it in terms of "the following sentence" you're still wrong because it's a lower case "s" so the correct answer in that case would be 0.
