This is a wonderful example of a logic puzzle that requires changing perspective!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you say you saw “10 once” and “12 once,” but I’m only supposed to see 9, there’s a very charming solution that has nothing to do with grocery shopping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution lies in the writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You got the “eggs” from the language. Look at the words very closely and count the letters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“One time” (10): T-A-S-I-N-E-M-A-L = 10 letters<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The other time” (12): T-A-S-A-N-D-E-R-E-M-A-L = 12 letters
Why do I see 9?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see 9 because the word in question has exactly that many letters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“S-I-E-B-E-N-U-N-D-G”\u2026 No, wait. Honestly, it’s not “I-C-H-S-E-H-E-9”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be honest: I see the 9 in the word “E-R-G-E-B-N-I-S-S”? No. The most honest answer is: I see 9 letters in the word “V-I-E-L-G-L-\u00dc-C-K” (okay, that’s 9!). But in the context of your riddle, I probably see the 9 in the word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“B-U-C-H-S-T-A-B-E” (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
