Fill in the blanks with positive integers; but make sure that the sentence remains coherent !
"In that sentence, the number 0 appears __ times, the number 1 appears __, the number 2 appears __ times, the number 3 appears __ times, the number 4 appears __ times, the number 5 appears __ times, the number 6 appears __ times, the number 7 appears __ times, the number 8 appears __ times, and the number 9 appears __ times."
Good luck !
For the first solution: OK, that's a solution. But I think there are more than one way to do it; The solution I have is :
"In that sentence, the number 0 appears 1 times, the number 1 appears 7, the number 2 appears 3 times, the number 3 appears 2 times, the number 4 appears 1 times, the number 5 appears 1 times, the number 6 appears 2 times, the number 7 appears 2 times, the number 8 appears 1 times, and the number 9 appears 1 times."

And there's 3 more points for you! However, doesn't the number 2 appear 4 times in your solution?

"In that sentence, the number 0 appears 1 times, the number 1 appears 7, the number 2 appears 3 times, the number 3 appears 2 times, the number 4 appears 1 times, the number 5 appears 1 times, the number 6 appears 1 times, the number 7 appears 2 times, the number 8 appears 1 times, and the number 9 appears 1 times."
You're right, this was just a typo.
