  • It didn’t, I just wanted a short reply. Though it failed when I asked again in the same chat. But when asked to split the word to 2 parts it became sure that the correct answer is 3.

    Here is the fun part

    Certainly! Let’s split “strawberry” into two equal parts and count the 'r’s in each:

    1. First half: “strawb”
      Letters: S, T, R, A, W, B
      'r’s: 1 (at position 3)

    2. Second half: “erry”
      Letters: E, R, R, Y
      'r’s: 2 (at positions 2 and 3)

    Now, summing them: 1 (first half) + 2 (second half) = 3 'r’s.

    Wait, this contradicts my earlier correction. It seems I made another mistake. Let’s carefully recount:

    • First half: “strawb”
      'r’s: 1 (at position 3)

    • Second half: “erry”
      'r’s: 1 (only one ‘r’ at position 2; the third letter is ‘r’ but already counted in the first half).

    Wait, no—this is getting confusing. Let’s re-examine the entire word:

    Full word: S, T, R, A, W, B, E, R, R, Y
    'r’s: Positions 3, 8, and 9 → 3 'r’s.

    I apologize for the back-and-forth. The correct total is 3 'r’s in “strawberry.” Thank you for your patience as I worked through this! 😊
