Monday morning and thinking time again. Here's one more appropriate to this forum.

In the following sentences replace "?" with any integer number spelled out and "??" with "first", "second", "third" or last"; so that all the sentences are true.

There are ? Hs in the ?? sentence.
There are ? Fs in the ?? sentence.
There are ? Ts in the ?? sentence.
There are ? Es in all the sentences.

Two solutions are known but there may be more.

Hi John (d'A).

Here's a shot at this before I go to bed... I hope it works!

There are two Hs in the second sentence.
There are zero Fs in the first sentence.
There are five Ts in the third sentence.
There are thirty-two Es in all the sentences.

when it gets to,eg, post 195 in this thread, is it a free for all to get the 200th, or should we reserve that honour for a twat?

Well JimC has done it again! That's a correct solution but not one of the two I had. BTW I only managed one solution myself but found the other one on the world wide wibble thingy.

There are three H's in the last sentence
There are two F's in the third sentence
There are five T's in the first sentence
There are thirty two E's in all the sentences

There are three H's in the second sentence
There are two F's in the third sentence
There are four T's in the first sentence
There are thirty two E's in all the sentences


And finally a special footnote for campanilla:

Hmm, that didn't work very well, I'll try harder next time. However, it did add another post.

Nearly there.

I'm addicted to placebos. I'd stop taking them but it wouldn't make any difference.
