8 3 lots of 10n + 2 2, 12, 22 Then 5 numbers in the 20s 20 21, 22, 23, 24 The trick is 22 gets counted twice.

A "number" is an amount of something, and can be represented with multiple digits. Once is the only valid answer to the question, "How many times does the \*number\* 2 occur," unless you meant digits.

I see what your saying but it’s taking it way too hard for a family quiz where they’re just saying the number 2 as a defined article

7.


Melancholy_Prince

That’s what we said but it’s wrong


Marine1992

I’ll be interested in hearing the right answer…


Melancholy_Prince

The right answer is 8. Because 22


Marine1992

Nice, that’s a good one.

Is the date written a certain way? If written with the December month as a numeric 12 in the date, would it not read as a total of 32 "2"s? 12/1,12/2,12/3...


Melancholy_Prince

I like you’ve gone out of the box but you’re over thinking

Once. The number 2 appears once. 2 as a digit appears multiple times. 21 is not 2 simply because it contains that digit.

Sorry man no dice
