Those who counted 6 (f's) are correct. Although I've been fooled by this type comprehension puzzle many times in the past, and knew what to look out for, I still blew it. Took me three times to spot only 6 (maybe 4 or 5 times, and if I were to do this same puzzle in a few weeks, I'd blow it again)... I too, first counted about 10, followed by something like 5 -even after I read the answer, still didn't get it. There's something about the way that paragraph is set up that makes it tough to accurately comprehend the number of F's

I was fooled by this kind of thing twice in the past. I surprised I got it this time but I was very careful.
I like the one that goes...
You have two coins that add up to thirty five cents, one of them is not a dime. What coins do you have?

Or should we phrase this as a question;
Can the other one be a dime ?

Jesse was correct. One coin is not a dime but the other is.
