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! 😊
